                         HON. DAVID G. VALADAO

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 9, 2017

  Mr. VALADAO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank Mr. Jacob Bennett 
Mizner for his service to my office and California's Central Valley.
  Mr. Mizner was born on July 16, 1994 in Tulare, California to Kevin 
and Sharon Mizner. After graduating from Tulare Western High School in 
Tulare, California in 2012, Mr. Mizner graduated from Fresno Pacific 
University in Fresno, California in 2016. While attending Fresno 
Pacific University, Mr. Mizner, a lover of music, was involved in 
Fresno Pacific Concert Choir.
  Mr. Mizner has been a Field Representative in Kings and Tulare 
County, California from June 1, 2016 to January 5, 2017. As Field 
Representative, Mr. Mizner was known for his friendly, optimistic 
personality throughout both counties. He is a hard, dedicated worker 
who was highly respected by his peers and was able to create and foster 
connections with constituents, business leaders, and public officials, 
all of which are integral skills of congressional staffers.
  Outside of work, Mr. Mizner enjoys music; he is an avid saxophone 
player and enjoys singing in choir, as well. Mr. Mizner is a member of 
California Baptist University Choir and Orchestra.
  Mr. Mizner's time with my office came to a close on January 5, 2017 
when he left to pursue an eleven-month mission trip with The World Race 
to serve needy groups in eleven countries in Central America, Asia, and 
Africa. Knowing Mr. Mizner, his character, and his work ethic, I have 
no doubt that he will achieve many great things in his future.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives to join me in commending Mr. Jacob Mizner for his 
public service to the people of the Central Valley and wishing him well 
as he embarks on the next chapter of his life.
