Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 22 (Friday, January 30, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 22 (Friday, January 30, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E83] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING THE PUBLIC SERVICE OF NELDA OLIVO ______ HON. VICENTE GONZALEZ of texas in the house of representatives Friday, January 30, 2026 Mr. VICENTE GONZALEZ of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ms. Nelda Olivo for over 30 years of public service to the City of Corpus Christi and the Port of Corpus Christi. Ms. Olivo has dedicated her life to public service and, in doing so, has facilitated the growth of our Coastal Bend Region. She started her career in public service in the City of Corpus Christi's Housing and Community Development Department, where she worked tirelessly to improve housing and infrastructure for her community. In 1993, she began her work in one of the most important ports in Texas, the Port of Corpus Christi. She has served there as a hard- working liaison between the port and several local, state, and federal governments. Her work goes far beyond Corpus Christi. She currently serves on the American Association of Port Authorities Government Relations Committee, the Texas Port Association, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee, the Gulf Ports Association of the Americas Government Affairs Committee, Port Industries of Corpus Christi, and the Coastal Bend Council of Governments. In these many roles, she has exemplified leadership, and integrity. I am proud to represent constituents like Ms. Olivo every day in Congress, who are pillars in our community and cleared the path for generations to come. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of South Texas, I wish to honor Ms. Nelda Olivo on her retirement and for her service to the people of South Texas. ____________________
