RECOGNIZING JANICE FULLER'S TEN YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE OF THE
SIXTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
______
HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.
of new jersey
in the house of representatives
Monday, March 18, 2019
Mr. PALLONE. Madam Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Janice Fuller,
who has served as one of my most trusted advisors for the last decade
in her roles as District Director and then Chief of Staff. Janice is
leaving my office after 10 years of distinguished service.
For 10 years now, my constituents in New Jersey's Sixth Congressional
District have had a fierce advocate in Janice. She has a passion for
constituent services and has always been a champion for the district's
municipalities, counties, organizations and businesses as they explore
funding or partnerships from federal agencies.
Janice's commitment to and advocacy for the people of my
Congressional District was never more on display than in the days,
weeks, months and years following Superstorm Sandy, which devastated my
district. She was relentless in her efforts to ensure the federal
government provided the assistance needed to New Jerseyans impacted by
Sandy. Janice fought for increased temporary housing for those who lost
their homes, worked to secure funding for critical flood control
projects and highlighted flood insurance fraud that was perpetrated
against homeowners. Her determination to improve the response and
recovery process from this historic storm had an impact on countless
people throughout New Jersey.
Over the last four years, Janice has served as my Chief of Staff,
leading my legislative, communications and constituent relations staff.
Prior to joining my staff in 2009, Janice served the people of New
Jersey in the offices of two governors. First, she served in the
McGreevey Administration in 2001 and 2002 as an Assistant to the Deputy
Chief of Staff, and from 2006 through 2009 she was the Director of
Cabinet Affairs in the Corzine Administration.
Janice is also well respected throughout New Jersey as one of the
state's top political minds. From 2003 through 2006, she was the
Executive Director of the New Jersey Democratic State Committee. In
this position, she ran the day-to-day operations of the state political
party--this is no easy task.
Throughout her entire career, Janice has been a fierce advocate for
the people of New Jersey. And that advocacy spills over into her free
time--if that time even exists for Janice. Not only has she served as a
Board Member on the Covenant House New Jersey-Asbury Park Program and
the New Jersey Equal Opportunity Fund, she recently won an election to
serve on the Ocean Township School Board.
It goes without saying that public service runs in Janice's blood.
She may be leaving my office, but I have no doubt that she will
continue to find ways to serve the people of New Jersey throughout the
remainder of her career.
Over the last ten years, Janice has spent a lot of late nights
representing me and my constituents at meetings or events throughout
the district. I want to acknowledge the support Janice always received
from her husband, John, and her three children, Grace, Finn and Sloane.
Madam Speaker, the American people, New Jerseyans and the people of
the Sixth Congressional District have been well served by Janice Fuller
for the last 20 years. I wish her nothing but the best in her future
endeavors and look forward to watching all the ways she looks to serve
the public good.
