“I am honoring Martha Mendoza for working 25 years to help the people of Kansas. She works in my office helping local people solve problems with the federal government.”
“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Martha Mendoza for 25 years of dedicated service to the people of Kansas. In July 2001, Martha began working for Senator Pat Roberts in his Dodge City office. Over the next two decades, she earned the trust of Kansans across the region and ultimately served as Senator Roberts’ district director for 8 years. When I was elected to Congress in 2021, Senator Roberts personally recommended I hire Martha because he knew her character, her work ethic, and the genuine care she brings to every Kansan who asks for help. I am grateful that she agreed to continue her service as my constituent services director. Today, Martha still works in the same Dodge City office where she began her public service career 25 years ago. During that time, she has helped countless Kansans navigate Federal agencies, resolve difficult casework, and find answers during some of the most stressful moments of their lives. Martha works long hours, follows through, and treats every person who calls her or walks through the door with dignity and compassion. She understands that public service is about helping people, and she has spent her career putting others’ lives in front of her own. Martha is a trusted colleague, a devoted mother of Joe, Gio, and Alexyss, and a tireless advocate for the people of the Big First District. I thank Martha for her 25 years of faithful service to Kansans. Our State is better because of her work and I am honored to have her on our team.”
