            RECOGNIZING THE RETIREMENT OF CHRISTINE ANDERSON

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JARED HUFFMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 1, 2014

  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise with my colleague Mike Thompson 
today to recognize Christine Anderson, who is transitioning from her 
position as congressional representative after nine years of service 
and dedication to the people of Mendocino County.
  Christine served as a Mendocino Constituent Services Representative 
for Congressman Mike Thompson for eight years, and as a Field 
Representative for Congressman Jared Huffman since the beginning of the 
113th Congress. She is renowned in the county for her exceptional 
management of constituent services as she helped countless individuals 
throughout the region tackle challenging issues. From veterans services 
to homeowners facing foreclosures to senior citizens, Christine has 
worked tirelessly to improve conditions for others. Her work with the 
Congressional Art Competition and Veterans History Projects touched 
many students and community members, promoting educational and cultural 
experiences of the highest quality. Christine's sense of grace, 
professionalism, and compassion provided many Mendocino residents with 
the highest level of care and positive problem-solving on a variety of 
difficult issues, and she will be missed.
  The residents of our congressional districts are better off today 
thanks to the work of Christine Anderson. Her commitment to advocating 
for individuals in need of federal assistance is appreciated and we 
wish her continued success in the future. Mr. Speaker, it is 
appropriate at this time that we honor and thank Christine for her nine 
years of invaluable service to the people of Mendocino County.
