RECOGNIZING DAYANARA RAMIREZ FOR HER PUBLIC SERVICE IN CONGRESS
______
HON. MARK TAKANO
of california
in the house of representatives
Monday, July 19, 2021
Mr. TAKANO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a member of my staff, Dayanara Ramirez, who dutifully served for three years in my office as Communications Director. Dayanara is leaving Congress--for now--to join the Biden Administration after an incredibly successful 5-
year tenure in the House of Representatives.
Dayanara first joined Team Takano in July 2018 and quickly became integral to my office's role as a progressive voice in Congress. Her tenure could be defined by her ferocious defense of equality and progressive values, and her energy helped foster a creative and industrious environment on her team. Dayanara worked diligently to expand our communications team and grow our social media footprint across every major platform into what it is today.
In addition to her official duties in Congress, Dayanara made it a point to contribute to the institution and its people through her generous volunteerism. Dayanara served as a member of the Congressional Hispanic Staff Association and the Democratic Digital Communications Staff Association, and most recently as the President of the LGBT Congressional Staff Association.
Dayanara has been a loyal member of my staff who has not only helped me to stay ``woke,'' but also helped me to improve my own Spanish speaking skills in the service of my constituents of CA-41.
Madam Speaker, it has been a privilege to have such a dedicated public servant as Dayanara on my staff. I have every confidence that Dayanara will continue to excel in her future endeavors and fully expect her to eventually return to Congress with even more experience to defend progressive values across our country.
