            HONORING THE LONG-TIME SERVICE OF JASON LARRABEE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JEFF DENHAM

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 25, 2017

  Mr. DENHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge and honor the 
long-time service of my Chief of Staff, Jason Larrabee. During his time 
on my team, he has been instrumental in managing our offices and 
providing direction for implementing policy in the Central Valley, and 
has been an even better friend.
  Jason graduated in 1997 from California State University, Chico, with 
a degree in Geography and Planning. He quickly made the move to DC in 
2001 to join former Congressman Doug Ose as a Legislative Assistant, 
helping advocate for California water rights. He then joined former 
Congressman John Doolittle's office as their Legislative Director, 
where he served for six years. In 2007, he left the Hill to start his 
own firm, Jason Larrabee Ventures, in Sacramento. There, he implemented 
government strategies for environmental policies in California, while 
simultaneously earning his Master of Business Administration from 
Drexel University.
  Yearning to serve his country once again, Jason returned to Capitol 
Hill in 2010 to join

me as my Chief of Staff. He ensured the continued success of both my DC 
and district offices through his keen oversight and dedication. He 
provided direction for an agenda that secured the passage of five bills 
into law. Jason's strong commitment to the quality of his work, as well 
as to the country, is greatly appreciated and will be sorely missed.
  In addition to his contributions here on the Hill, Jason serves on 
the Board of Directors for the California State Society and as a 
managing partner for his family's farm in Butte City, California. He 
also spent 11 years as a Volunteer Fireman with the Glenn County Fire 
Department. Throughout Jason's countless years of accomplishments and 
experiences, he has had the loving support of his wife Jill, daughter 
Tatum, and dog Fritzy.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring and commending Jason Larrabee 
for his many years of service, devotion, and outstanding contributions 
to his community. We wish him continued success in his future 
endeavors.
