Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 132 (Thursday, August 13, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 132 (Thursday, August 13, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E785] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING MONICA GARCIA FOR HER SERVICE TO CALIFORNIA'S 46TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT ______ HON. J. LUIS CORREA of california in the house of representatives Thursday, August 13, 2026 Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the contributions of Monica Garcia to California's 46th Congressional District. Monica Garcia is a native of the 46th Congressional District and a former team member of our Congressional District Office. Monica attended Valencia High School and graduated from Humboldt State University. Monica began her federal work with the Office of Congressman Lou Correa in February of 2022. She joined as a Congressional Caseworker overseeing and maintaining relationships with the federal agencies including the Social Security Administration, Internal Revenue Service, Postal Service, Small Business Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Department of Education. Through her diligent work and commitment to constituents she oversaw the return of $20.4 million back to the district and directly to constituents and small businesses. Monica also oversaw the citizenship fair events that provided the opportunity for constituents to receive guidance on filing out the N- 400 through the assistance of community volunteers and organizations. She maintained and developed strategic partnerships with community organizations such as Catholic Charities, Public Law Center, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations to make these citizenship fairs a reality in the district. Monica married her college sweetheart Gabriel Viramontes on October 20, 2025 in Las Vegas. Monica is moving on to work with the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District. I wish her the best of luck and success on her next venture. ____________________
