 A TRIBUTE TO HOLLY HAMPTON--28TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT WOMAN OF THE

                          HON. ADAM B. SCHIFF

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 14, 2017

  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Women's History 
Month. Each year, we pay special tribute to the contributions and 
sacrifices made by our nation's women. It is an honor to pay homage to 
outstanding women who are making a difference in my congressional 
district. I would like to recognize a remarkable woman, Holly Hampton 
of Echo Park, a unique neighborhood in Los Angeles, California.
  Holly Hampton has been a resident of Echo Park for many years, 
calling this historic neighborhood and community home since 1989. Ms. 
Hampton currently serves as Vice President of the Echo Park Historical 
Society's Board of Directors, which preserves and promotes the 
neighborhood's architectural and cultural heritage. Holly also serves 
as Chair of the Historic Echo Park Home Tours.
  Ms. Hampton, a professional graphic designer, has been recognized for 
her involvement in numerous community design projects. Most notably, 
she participated as a judge for the Echo Park Community Parade's 
children's art contest for the past six years, and has designed 
installations for the Echo Park Historical Society. She received 
recognition from the City of Los Angeles at the Echo Park Farmers' 
Market's 10 year anniversary for her work with Katrina Alexy, an 
artist, on the creation of the market logo.
  In 2001, Ms. Hampton purchased a home in Echo Park, and became active 
in the development of her local neighborhood watch, which included 
neighbors on Grafton Street, Lemoyne Street, Effie Street, Lake Shore 
Avenue and Lobdell Place. She also began partnering with the Los 
Angeles City Council 13th District Office to organize staircase street 
clean-up events in an effort to help maintain the public staircase 
located on her street.
  I ask all Members to join me in honoring an exceptional woman of 
California's 28th Congressional District, Holly Hampton.
