                       Tuesday, February 24, 2026

  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and commend Rebecca 
Delgadillo Evans, a remarkable public servant whose distinguished 
career reflects the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, 
and dedication to the administration of justice in the United States.
  For more than sixteen years, Rebecca Evans served with distinction at 
the United States Attorney's Office in Riverside, California, where she 
became a cornerstone of the office's daily operations and long-term 
success. Her work as a Senior Legal Assistant and Grand Jury 
Coordinator exemplifies quiet excellence--service rendered not for 
recognition, but for the betterment of our institutions and the 
communities they serve.
  Throughout her career, Rebecca earned the trust and respect of 
Assistant United States Attorneys, judges, law enforcement partners, 
and colleagues alike. She was known for her precision, discretion, and 
unwavering commitment to accuracy in the most demanding and high-stakes 
federal litigation matters. Her expertise in federal court filings, 
sealed pleadings, trial preparation, and discovery management ensured 
that justice was not only pursued, but pursued correctly.
  Rebecca's role as Grand Jury Coordinator was especially vital. She 
oversaw all grand jury proceedings with professionalism and calm 
authority, maintaining complex schedules, coordinating witnesses and 
jurors, and ensuring that each proceeding was conducted efficiently and 
lawfully. Her ability to manage sensitive information with care and 
integrity made her indispensable to the administration of justice in 
the Central District of California.
  Beyond her technical expertise, Rebecca was a leader. She mentored 
newly hired legal assistants, filled supervisory roles when needed, and 
consistently stepped forward to ensure continuity of operations during 
times of transition. Her steady presence brought confidence to those 
around her and stability to an office charged with weighty 
responsibility.
  What sets Rebecca apart is not only what she did, but how she did 
it--with grace, humility, and a genuine commitment to public service. 
She understood that the work of the U.S. Attorney's Office is not 
merely procedural, but foundational to the rule of law and the 
protection of our democratic Institutions. Her career is a testament to 
the often-unseen professionals whose diligence ensures that our justice 
system functions honorably and effectively.
  Outside of her professional duties, Rebecca has remained deeply 
committed to her community, volunteering with the City of Corona and 
exemplifying the spirit of service that has defined her life's work. 
She is a proud graduate of Eastern Michigan University, where she laid 
the academic foundation for a career marked by excellence and purpose.
  Mr. Speaker, it has been my privilege to know Rebecca Evans not only 
as a public servant, but as a person of character, kindness, and 
unwavering dedication. Her legacy is one of service well rendered and 
standards faithfully upheld. As she concludes this chapter of her 
professional journey, our community, our courts, and our country are 
better because of her contributions.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing and thanking Rebecca 
Delgadillo Evans for her extraordinary service to the United States and 
to the cause of justice.
