Rep. Grace Napolitano, D-Calif., speaks during a press conference on deportation of veterans on Thursday, Nov. 16, 2017.

Napolitano Nature Education Center in La Puente.
"I am incredibly grateful for the people of the San Gabriel Valley and the people of Southeastern Los Angeles County for the trust they have bestowed in me to represent them for a quarter century," she said Saturday. "I have lived in this community since I moved to Norwalk, California in 1960.
"Thank you all so much for being here and this great honor," she said. "My focus has always been representing my district, first; state, second; and nation, third. We still have a year and half more of work to do, and I will give 110% every day fighting for the San Gabriel Valley in the United States Congress. Thank you, all! God bless!"
