HONORING WOMEN OF THE YEAR: ANJURLE DUCHAUSSEE

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 158 (Tuesday, October 6, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 158 (Tuesday, October 6, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E1032] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING WOMEN OF THE YEAR: ANJURLE DUCHAUSSEE ______ HON. JOHN GARAMENDI of california in the house of representatives Tuesday, October 6, 2026 Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the contributions of Anjurle Duchaussee as she is honored as one of California's 8th Congressional District's Women of the Year. Through profound youth advocacy, years of civic volunteerism, and steadfast public service across Solano County, Anjurle exemplifies the absolute best of community leadership and compassion. As a dedicated volunteer with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Solano County, Anjurle champions the mission of supporting Fairfield's underserved youth, families, and seniors. She is consistently the first to arrive and the last to leave, spearheading the logistics and physical setup for critical community initiatives. Anjurle also serves as the Administrative Lead for the Fairfield Fire Department, where colleagues and leadership view her as the foundational glue holding department operations together. When the department faced the heartbreaking loss of a firefighter who died in the line of duty, Anjurle stepped forward with tireless compassion to support donation drives and support networks for the family and agency, earning formal recognition and deep gratitude from the Fairfield Firefighters Association. Beyond her extensive public service and emergency management contributions, Anjurle is a loving mother and grandmother whose daily life is defined by quiet generosity and selfless devotion to others. She represents the best of Solano County and California's Eighth Congressional District and has fundamentally strengthened the safety, well-being, and heart of our community. On behalf of the people of California's 8th Congressional District, it is my pleasure to honor and recognize Anjurle Duchaussee for her positive contributions to our community. ____________________
