  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to an 
individual whose dedication and contributions to the community of Lake 
Elsinore in Riverside County, California are exceptional. On Saturday, 
February 11, 2017 Natasha Johnson will be honored as the Citizen of the 
Year by the Lake Elsinore Chamber of Commerce.
  Natasha is a manager of a local credit union and a strong advocate 
for Lake Elsinore. In 2012, Natasha was elected to the Lake Elsinore 
City Council, where she continues to serve after being re-elected in 
2016. As an elected official, Natasha has worked tirelessly to 
establish a more sustainable economic development base in Lake Elsinore 
to create more jobs and demonstrate that our community is a great place 
for families to live, work and play.

  Natasha has served our region through her participation in 
organizations such as the Boy Scouts of America, H.O.P.E, Operation 
Homefront, and New Song. She also serves on the Board of Directors for 
the Elsinore Woman's Club, Boy Scout Advisory, and United Way. Natasha 
is also a past President for the Lake Elsinore Chamber of Commerce.
  In light of all that Natasha has done for the community of Riverside 
County and the city of Lake Elsinore, it is only fitting to honor her 
as Citizen of the Year. Natasha has contributed immensely to the 
betterment of our region and I am proud to call her a fellow community 
member, American and a constituent of the 42nd Congressional District 
of California. I add my voice to the many who will be congratulating 
Natasha Johnson on being named Citizen of the Year by the Lake Elsinore 
Chamber of Commerce.
