“Ms. MATSUI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services as it celebrates 50 years of distinguished service to the Sacramento region. For five decades, the Sacramento Food Bank has strengthened our community through advocacy and an unwavering commitment to those in need. That legacy is built on the dedication of their leadership, board, and staff; people who have given their time, their creativity, and their heart to this work. Guided by a mission to nourish our community members, the Sacramento Food Bank has worked tirelessly to fight poverty and hunger in Sacramento County by removing barriers for families and individuals. This organization has ensured that no child goes hungry, struggling families get back on their feet, seniors are nourished, and immigrants and refugees make Sacramento home, setting up those in need for self- sufficiency and financial independence. Through their 112 partner agencies, the Sacramento Food Bank delivers accessible programs, including neighborhood distributions, CalFresh outreach, Food for Seniors, diaper distribution, legal services, SMUD Energy Help, and unwavering advocacy in addressing root causes of food insecurity and poverty. Their work has advanced policy reforms and strengthened programs at the local, state and national levels. This milestone honors the resilience of those in need, the commitment of staff and volunteers, and the partnerships that help them meet demands. Mr. Speaker, I ask all my colleagues to join me in honoring the Sacramento Food bank's 50 years of compassion and advocacy for Sacramento. ____________________”

“Ms. MATSUI. Mr. Speaker, it is with profound sadness that I rise today to honor the life of Phyllis Johnson, who passed away on January 13, 2026. Phyllis was a pillar of our community, and her life was marked by unwavering dedication and service to others. Ms. Johnson worked with California State Retirees, Chapter 2, in Sacramento. As a devoted member, she generously gave her time and energy in numerous leadership roles, serving as both President and Vice President, and contributing her talents on the Membership Committee. Phyllis had a deep passion for supporting fellow members and strengthening the organization she cared so deeply about. She was known for her steady leadership, her willingness to lend a helping hand, and her genuine concern for the well-being of others. In addition, Phyllis worked with SEIU Local 1000 as DLC 762 President and with the Sacramento Central Labor Council, where she was a tireless advocate. She also served as a member of the City of Galt Commission on Aging. Phyllis represented state workers, state retirees, working families, and seniors. Mr. Speaker, as family, friends, and the community gather to celebrate the life of Phyllis Johnson, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring her remarkable legacy of service and compassion. She will be deeply missed by all whose lives she touched. ____________________”

“Ms. MATSUI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 25th anniversary of the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District and their unwavering commitment to the safety and wellbeing of the Greater Sacramento Area. Founded in 2000, the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District ``Metro Fire'' is a testament to the power of unity and a shared passion for public safety. This robust California Special District was forged from the strategic unification of 16 smaller, independent departments, culminating in the final merger of the American River Fire Department and Sacramento County Fire Protection District. Today, Metro Fire is a vital safeguard for the lives of over 720,000 Sacramentans across a 359-square-mile area. From humble beginnings, it has evolved into one of the largest and most responsive fire agencies in California, operating 41 state of the art fire stations strategically positioned across the region. Sacramentans can rest assured knowing Metro Fire's highly trained professionals are prepared to handle a diverse range of emergency situations. Beyond emergency response, the Metro Fire district excels in building public trust and ensuring transparency. Their commitment to providing timely and relevant data empowers the public, community leaders, and decision makers to make informed, data driven choices. My mission as your congresswoman has always been to ensure our region's first responders are equipped with the absolute best tools and technology the federal government can help provide. Our partnership has expanded training for ``front line'' firefighters and advanced rescue capabilities through the acquisition of cutting-edge thermal imaging technologies to better locate victims in low-visibility environments. As we look ahead, I remain committed to working with Metro Fire to keep them on the frontline of emergency and disaster response, with the resources necessary for any situation they may face. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in commending the dedicated men and women of the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District for 25 years of exceptional service and their enduring promise to the community.
