                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 29, 2015

  Mr. VALADAO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank Alexis Joy Marie 
Hayes for her service to my office and to the people of the 21st 
Congressional District of California.
  Alexis Hayes was born and raised in Visalia, California to Mr. and 
Mrs. James and Kristin Hayes on February 5, 1994. Six years later, in 
1999, Alexis was blessed with the birth of her sister, Rileey Hayes.
  Ms. Hayes attended Mountain View Elementary and Divisadero Middle 
School prior to attending Mt. Whitney High School, where she graduated 
in 2012. Following high school, Alexis began her general studies at the 
College of the Sequoias in Visalia, California. While in school, Ms. 
Hayes served as the President of the local College Republicans Chapter.
  Since high school, Ms. Hayes has been an active member of her 
community. From an early age, she has demonstrated a strong interest in 
politics and an unwavering commitment to public service.
  She has held positions as Office Manager for Valadao for Congress, 
Intern for Congressman Devin Nunes, and most recently, as a Constituent 
Services Representative in my Hanford, California office.
  Friday, July 31, 2015, will be Ms. Hayes last day as a member of my 
staff. In August, Ms. Hayes will begin attending the University of 
California, Berkeley. While I am proud of her academic achievements, 
she will be greatly missed as a member of my team.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives to join me in commending Alexis Hayes for her public 
service to the people of the Central Valley and wishing her well as she 
begins the next chapter of her life.
