Farewell Ray Salazar

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. CLARK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to bid farewell to my floor director, the incomparable Ray Salazar.

If you have had the privilege of serving in this Chamber, you know what a gem, what a patriot, and what an indispensable pillar of this institution Ray is. You also know what a reliable friend and adviser he is, and you know what a loss his departure will be for the House of Representatives.

From his time with Leader Hoyer to his years on my team, every time he stepped onto this floor he has strengthened our institution, always leading with values and integrity, bringing a steady hand to his work along with his encyclopedic knowledge of parliamentary procedure.

I thank Ray for his 13 years of extraordinary service. He is the model of what it means to be a public servant, waking up every day to work for the American people. We wish him all the best in his next chapter.
