CELEBRATING ASIAN AMERICAN AND PACIFIC ISLANDER HERITAGE MONTH AND
HONORING SABRINA JAVELLANA
______
HON. STEPHANIE N. MURPHY
of florida
in the house of representatives
Friday, May 28, 2021
Mrs. MURPHY of Florida. Madam Speaker, as part of our national celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, I am paying tribute to Floridians who have made outstanding contributions to our community and our country.
Today I rise to honor Sabrina Javellana.
Sabrina, who is a proud lifelong resident of Hallandale Beach, graduated from Hallandale High School and Florida International University. On November 19, 2018, Sabrina made history as she became the first Asian-American, and the youngest person, ever elected as a Commissioner of Hallandale Beach. Within days, her colleagues selected her to serve as Vice Mayor.
A dedicated public servant and community activist, Sabrina has championed environmental policies to protect Florida's coral reefs and waterways. She has advocated for the City of Hallandale Beach to recognize the devastating effects of climate change and to prepare for climate change-related extreme weather events and natural disasters.
Sabrina is a champion for equity and justice in South Florida.
I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring and celebrating Commissioner Sabrina Javellana.
