        CONGRATULATING FIDENCIO HOOPER-CAMPOS ON HIS RETIREMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 19, 2019

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Fidencio 
Hooper-Campos on his retirement. Mr. Hooper-Campos has been a 
steelworker and member of the United Steelworkers Local 63 for 45 
years.
  Fidencio Hooper-Campos has much to celebrate following a stellar 
career as a steelworker and a public servant. Mr. Hooper-Campos began 
his career as a steelworker at the age of 19 at Northwestern Steel & 
Wire prior to continuing his work at Sterling Steel in the town where 
he was born. However, Mr. Hooper-Campos' work went beyond that as he 
took on leadership roles within the community, including service on the 
Whiteside County Board, Whiteside County Health Clinic Governing 
Council and the NCI Works Board. Mr. Hooper-Campos committed himself to 
civic activism and always worked to improve the community around him 
throughout his accomplished career. In addition, Mr. Hooper-Campos 
enjoys music, kickboxing and martial arts and I wish him well as he 
begins his well-earned retirement.
  It is because of dedicated leaders such as Fidencio Hooper-Campos 
that I am especially proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional 
District. Madam Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate 
Fidencio Hooper-Campos on his retirement after 45 years as a 
steelworker.
