RECOGNITION OF WILLIAM EMMONS AND HIS SERVICE TO THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON

THE JUDICIARY

______

HON. JERROLD NADLER

of new york

in the house of representatives

Tuesday, October 4, 2022

Mr. NADLER. Madam Speaker, I rise, along with Representative Steve Cohen, Chair of the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties, to thank William Emmons for his service to the Committee on the Judiciary.

Will received his bachelor's degree from The College of William and Mary and began his career in public policy as a Legislative Intern for Representative Suzanne Bonamici. Will first joined the Judiciary Committee as an intern in 2018 and he returned in 2019 as Professional Staff Member for the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties.

Will's work was essential to the success of much of the Constitution subcommittee's activities, including its 13 hearings on voting rights, two field hearings where he handled almost all of the logistical matters regarding transporting equipment and setting up hearing locations, and a number of other high-profile hearings like the one marking the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa race riots.

Will assisted considerably with respect to helping various counsels involved in the first impeachment of Donald Trump and he also contributed substantive work product on important and politically sensitive matters, most notably with respect to researching the background on our hearing on Congressional authority over member conduct and discipline.

Through it all, in demanding and stressful situations, he proved to be a smart, dedicated staffer who worked very hard on many critical but often unseen tasks with conscientiousness, grace, and good humor.

For nearly four years, I have been fortunate to count Will among my staff. I, and the American people, have greatly benefited from his passion for public policy, his dedication to service, and his commitment to excellence. No doubt he will be successful in his future endeavors and an asset to his future colleagues.

While we are sad to see Will go and he will certainly be missed, we are happy that he will continue to serve the public interest in his new non-profit role in New York.

We thank William Emmons for his service to the Committee and wish him the best of luck with this new chapter.
