Sánchez Takes to House Floor to Celebrate City of Walnut’s 65th Anniversary
WASHINGTON – On Tuesday, Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez (D-CA) spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives in recognition of the 65th anniversary of the City of Walnut. Below are Congresswoman Sánchez's remarks, as prepared for delivery: “M. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 65th birthday of the City of Walnut, California. On January 20, 2024, the City of Walnut celebrates 65 years since its incorporation. A long-time ranching community, the Walnut area was primarily used for cattle and sheep grazing as well as growing wheat, grapes, and fruit trees. Walnut has since grown into a diverse, successful city that I am proud to represent as part of California’s 38th congressional district. Walnut is beloved for its historic charm and traditions such as the Walnut Family Festival and Winter Jam. From the iconic windmill in Suzanne Park to the wildlife sanctuary at Mt. SAC to the beautiful groves of walnut trees to its wonderful Senior Center, the City of Walnut has much to offer residents and visitors alike. Happy Birthday, City of Walnut!” ### |
