December 9, 2014 - Hon. Tom McClintock of California in the House of Representatives Thursday, September 18, 2014
Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of The Honorable Janet Bibby, Mariposa County Supervisor. Janet Bibby was born and raised in Mariposa County. She grew up in a ranching family with five generations of deep roots in the community. Ms. Bibby's love of community forged the beginnings of her career as a public servant in Mariposa County in 1985. Janet served as the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, and worked in the District Attorney's office and the Farm Advisors office. As a clerk in the District Attorney's office, she devoted herself to making the community a better place to live, work, and recreate. She was elected to the Mariposa Board of Supervisors in 2003 to represent the third district--an honor she has held for the past eleven years. Janet Bibby has taken her commitment to public service seriously, tirelessly working for the constituents of Mariposa County. Her contributions to the advancement of agriculture in Mariposa are notable, as she has promoted the industry throughout her career. Janet has been involved in a variety of county-improvement projects to benefit those she represents, including: the Yosemite Wastewater Treatment Project, the construction of the Don Pedro Wastewater Treatment Facility, a multitude of projects to improve the local airport, and innumerable efforts to improve funding and support for fire stations. Janet has also made significant efforts to make the county family- focused, such as the creation of the Recreational Sports Complex, the Mariposa Park Amphitheatre, the Arts Park, and the Skate Park. This is only a sampling of the work Ms. Bibby has done for the community.
She constantly strives to make Mariposa safer, stronger, and more united. I am proud to honor and thank Mariposa County District Three Supervisor Janet Bibby for her many years of public and community service.
