  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Ruben Ruiz and 
Shelby Lowe for being named Pearland's 2014 Employees of the Year by 
Pearland city management. This award is given to the public servants 
who best exemplify the city's core mission--to provide those who live 
in Pearland with the best quality of life.
  Mr. Ruiz, a utility billing specialist, and Ms. Lowe, a recreation 
attendant, went above and beyond in performing their duties and 
improving the systems on which the city runs. Their dedication to 
service and character provide a shining example of public service and 
set an example we can all follow. The residents of Pearland, Texas 
already know what a great place they live, work and raise their 
families. These dedicated city employees are part of what makes 
Pearland special.
  I thank Ruben Ruiz and Shelby Lowe for their tireless work in 
ensuring the Pearland community gets the customer service it deserves. 
On behalf of the residents of the Twenty-Second Congressional District 
of Texas, congratulations to Mr. Ruiz and Ms. Lowe for being named 
Pearland's 2014 Employees of the Year.
