IN HONOR OF TODD MARTIN'S DECADE OF SERVICE TO THE 24TH CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICT OF TEXAS
______
HON. KENNY MARCHANT
of texas
in the house of representatives
Thursday, February 27, 2020
Mr. MARCHANT. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Todd
Martin, a member of my District Office staff for over a decade, for his
outstanding and dedicated service to the United States House of
Representatives and to the Twenty-Fourth Congressional District of
Texas.
Todd joined my staff over ten years ago initially as an intern,
following his graduation from Baylor University in Waco, Texas with a
Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing. He didn't stay an
intern for very long, as with his sharp talents he was quickly hired on
to the permanent district office staff as the Director of District
Affairs. Throughout his time in my office, Todd has been an integral
part of the team, working diligently to provide outstanding constituent
service and helping to manage the daily operations of the district
office. During this time, Todd has conducted

himself with the utmost dedication and professionalism, ensuring the
needs of every constituent he encountered were addressed to the fullest
extent possible. Going above and beyond the normal expectations of a
Congressional staffer is a normal day for Todd.
Todd's tireless efforts ensured countless constituents received
federal assistance, unpaid benefits, and additional earned services
provided by the federal government which may have been delayed,
misplaced, or unknown to the constituent. Additionally, Todd's efforts
on the ground in the District ensured the legislative needs of
constituents were heard and communicated to myself and my legislative
team in Washington, D.C. This work often goes unnoticed but was
instrumental in ensuring voices of the 24th District were constantly
heard in Congress. Todd's commitment to public service is apparent in
his pursuit of excellence in the public sector. During his time on my
staff, Todd acquired a master's in public administration from the
University of North Texas in 2012, further improving his abilities to
serve the American public.
In a very bittersweet moment, this upcoming Friday, February 28th
will be Todd's last day working for the people of the Twenty-Fourth
Congressional District. He will leave as the fourth longest serving
staffer in the office during my time in Congress. Todd will be
continuing his commitment to public service in a new capacity, as he
will soon be working for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern
District of Texas.
Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the contributions Todd has
made to the 24th Congressional District of Texas, The State of Texas,
and the United States of America. I ask all of my distinguished
colleagues to join me in recognizing Todd Martin and his outstanding
service. We wish him well in his next chapter of public service.
