                        HONORING JEDD MOSKOWITZ

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. GRACE MENG

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 25, 2015

  Ms. MENG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of my Chief of Staff, 
Jedd Moskowitz, who will be retiring from Capitol Hill after 32 years 
of exemplary service to the constituents of New York. Thirty of these 
years were spent with former Congressman Gary Ackerman, and I was lucky 
to have benefitted from his guidance for the past two and a half years.
  Jedd started his career at the Queens Tribune working as a copy 
editor for Congressman Ackerman. When Congressman Ackerman ran and won 
a seat in the New York State Senate, Jedd remained by his side. In 
1983, after five years in the State Senate, Congressman Ackerman was 
elected to the United States Congress, and soon named Jedd his Chief of 
Staff.
  Loyal, diligent, dedicated, hardworking all describe the model 
character Jedd has shown in this position. His knowledge of the House 
and its proceedings is unparalleled, his advice invaluable, and his 
willingness to help and mentor young staffers unmatched. He is 
currently the longest serving Chief of Staff on The Hill.
  I would be remiss not to include baseball fanatic when describing 
him, as Jedd holds an annual tradition of inviting each member of his 
staff to attend a baseball game come springtime. Though his season 
tickets are for the Nationals, his heart remains with his hometown 
team, the New York Mets. Jedd also remains active in his Synagogue, and 
is a devoted family man to his wife and two children.
  I ask that my colleagues in the House of Representatives join me and 
rise in recognition of Jedd's faithful service to this body, and to the 
countless people whose paths he has crossed and whose lives he's 
enriched. Jedd, I wish you the best of luck and continued success in 
all of your future endeavors.
