Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and celebrate the winners of this year's Congressional Art Competition.

We had over 80 talented young artists submit their work to my Congressional Art Competition as the California 31st Congressional District's Representative. I am proud to announce Marely Gutierrez, an Azusa High School senior, as our first-place winner. Her charcoal and graphic artwork, Heartfelt Gaze, will be hung in the Cannon tunnel for the next year for everyone to see. I had the pleasure of meeting Marely and the other talented young artists at a ceremony we hosted last month. Our ceremony was held in the beautiful Vincenzo's Terrazza in San Dimas, where we celebrated with students, parents, teachers, and everyone who participated in this year's competition. It was such a joy to meet many of California 31st District's bright young artists and hear about the impact art has on their lives. Mr.…
