I wish to recognize retiring El Dorado County Chief Administrative Officer Don Ashton for his years of service to El Dorado County. Don has served the people of El Dorado for more than a decade, most recently as CAO, and never wavered from his goal of making the county a better place. Throughout Don's tenure, El Dorado County endured department head shakeups, COVID-19, and a series of catastrophic wildfires, most notably, the Caldor fire and recent Mosquito fire. No matter the challenge, Don provided steady leadership to help the county weather every challenge it faced. Don also achieved many long- term county goals over the years, including financing and constructing the new sheriff's headquarters, improving various parks, and acquiring facilities on the West Slope and in South Lake Tahoe that will bolster the county's ability to serve the public. On behalf of the United States House of Representatives, I am honored to recognize Don Ashton for the steady, stable leadership and years of service he has provided to the people of El Dorado County.
