On the recordJune 14, 2022
On behalf of my California colleagues and the House of Representatives, I welcome Representative Connie Conway to Congress. A lifelong San Joaquin Valley resident, Representative Conway has served as a businesswoman, healthcare worker, Tulare County supervisor, president of the California State Association of Counties, and director of the National Association of Counties. From 2008 to 2014, she served in the California State Assembly. During her tenure she also served as the Assembly minority leader. In 2019, Representative Conway was appointed to the USDA Farm Service Agency as the California executive director. In that role, she administered more than $100 million in safety net and disaster relief programs serving California farmers, ranchers, foresters, and agricultural producers. Representative Conway previously operated her own consulting business and comes with experience in the healthcare sector--previously working for the Women's Health Department at Tulare District Hospital and coordinating a wellness program for Visalia's Kaweah Health Medical Center. We look forward to working with Representative Conway. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from California (Mr. Calvert). ____________________
