ANTHONY URIBE RECOGNIZED AS YOUNG PROFESSIONAL OF THE YEAR

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 15 (Thursday, January 22, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 15 (Thursday, January 22, 2026)] [House] [Pages H1336-H1337] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] ANTHONY URIBE RECOGNIZED AS YOUNG PROFESSIONAL OF THE YEAR (Mr. BERA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Mr. BERA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate one of my staff members, Anthony Uribe, who is being recognized by the Sacramento Metro Chamber of Commerce as a Young Professional of the Year. Anthony joined my staff in 2018, when he was a senior at Sacramento State, as an intern. He came on as a staff assistant and has been working his way up. Anthony has shown grit and perseverance, representing the Sacramento communities of North Sacramento, Del Paso Heights, and Natomas. He is a great extension of what we do. Anthony is innovative. One of the best Anthony stories is that, as a staff assistant, you have to pick the Member of Congress up early in the morning [[Page H1337]] sometimes. Because I am on the West Coast, that is a 4 a.m. pickup call. One morning, he may have overslept his alarm clock there, so he got there and said: I will get you to the airport, Mr. Congressman. For those in Sacramento County, he got me from Elk Grove to the airport in 10 minutes flat. Maybe there was a little bit of speeding there. I congratulate Anthony. I wish I was there with him for the awards ceremony. It is a well-deserved award. ____________________
