JOHN GARAMENDI of california in the house of representatives Friday, October 9, 2026 Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Toni Condit as she is honored as one of California's 8th Congressional District's Women of the Year. As co-founder and Board Chair of Future Leadership Solano (FLS), Toni has dedicated herself to expanding opportunities for young people to develop leadership skills and become active participants in their communities. Since its founding, the program has provided leadership training and community engagement opportunities to nearly 80 local youth, connecting them with civic, business, educational, and nonprofit leaders. Through these experiences and hands-on service projects, participants learn how their communities operate and how they can make a meaningful difference. Beyond her work with FLS, Toni remains actively involved in civic and community organizations, including the Vallejo Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Club. She also supports the annual Vallejo Fourth of July Parade and serves on the board of Vallejo Waterfront Weekend, helping bring residents together to celebrate their community and strengthen local connections. Across her many roles, Toni demonstrates a genuine commitment to service and inspiring others to give back. Her leadership has helped grow Future Leadership Vallejo into Future Leadership Solano, extending opportunities for young people throughout the county. By encouraging the next generation to take an active role in shaping their communities, Toni is helping cultivate future leaders whose contributions will continue for years to come. On behalf of the people of California's 8th Congressional District, it is my pleasure to honor and recognize Toni Condit for her dedicated service, commitment to youth leadership, and lasting contributions to our community. ____________________
