HON. JOHN H. RUTHERFORD
of florida
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, September 10, 2019
Mr. RUTHERFORD. Madam Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Ms. Victoria
Warmouth for her exemplary dedication to duty and service as an Army
Congressional Budget Liaison for the Assistant Secretary of the Army
(Financial Management and Comptroller). Ms. Warmouth is transitioning
from her present assignment to serve as a Legislative Liaison for the
United States Forces Korea.
Victoria is a proud native of Palm Harbor, Florida, which is located
on the west coast of the state outside of Tampa. She earned a
bachelor's degree in both Political Science and International Affairs
at Florida State University, and a master's degree in International
Affairs, Comparative and Regional Studies Europe from American
University in Washington, D.C.
Victoria has served in numerous positions during her professional
career. She worked in the House of Representatives for over six years,
primarily for the late Honorable C.W. Bill Young (R-FL-13), Chairman of
the House of Representatives Appropriations Subcommittee for Defense
and Chairman Emeritus of the full House Appropriations Committee.
During her time in Chairman Young's office, Victoria served in several
different roles, including Legislative Assistant and Senior Policy
Advisor. Victoria's primary responsibilities included managing the
Appropriations Committee portfolio for six subcommittees, analyzing
seventy-six department and agency budget requests in the President's
budget submission, and developing legislative priorities on a wide
portfolio of issues. Following Representative David W. Jolly's special
election victory in March 2014, Victoria coordinated the opening of his
Washington, D.C. office, submitting all of his Fiscal Year 2015
appropriation requests and preparing new legislation that was
introduced in the House of Representatives.
In SAFM-BUL, Victoria served as the Congressional Analyst prior to
her promotion to the Congressional Strategist. While serving as the
Congressional Analyst, Victoria performed a variety of functions,
including providing analytical and advisory support to senior Army
management officials on the appropriations process and coordinating
information provided to House and Senate Appropriations Committees. In
her role as the Congressional Strategist, Victoria analyzes and
synthesizes data from a variety of Army and congressional sources to
develop measurable and comprehensive Congressional Engagement
Strategies for Army senior leaders, including congressional marks
appeals to advance the Army's appropriations priorities.
Madam Speaker, it has been a genuine pleasure to work with Ms.
Victoria Warmouth during my tenure on the House Appropriations
Committee. On behalf of a grateful nation, I join my colleagues today
in recognizing and commending Vicki for her service to our country, and
we wish her all the best as she continues her service to the United
States.
