On the recordDecember 1, 2022
Madam Speaker, I rise today to join our amazing city of Placentia and the residents that live in it and the entire community in California's 39th Congressional District as we celebrate the city's 96th birthday. ``Placentia'' is derived from the Latin word meaning ``pleasant place to live,'' and it certainly fulfills its name. Placentia is home to beautiful neighborhoods, good schools, stately churches, and endless outdoor recreation. Our fast-growing community of 45,000 residents is tight-knit, hardworking, and dedicated to giving back. Some of my fondest memories include the city's concerts in the park, the annual Love Placentia event, and the always-lively Tamale Festival. I am honored to represent Placentia in Congress and will do all I can to ensure our community continues to thrive. Happy birthday, Placentia. ____________________
