HONORING THE SERVICE OF DAVID TWA
______
HON. MARK DeSAULNIER
of california
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, January 5, 2021
Mr. DeSAULNIER. Madam Speaker, I rise today with Congressman Mike Thompson, Congressman Jerry McNerney, and Congressman Eric Swalwell to recognize the service of an esteemed leader in Contra Costa County, David Twa.
David began his career as a public servant in Minnesota where he served as a county manager and county attorney. With significant experience under his belt, David moved to California and was appointed as the Contra Costa County Administrator in 2008. In this role, David has managed 24 departments, agencies, and special districts; over 10,000 employees; and a multibillion-dollar budget.
During his tenure as County Administrator, David worked to implement the County's goals and improve the lives of its residents. One of David's many accomplishments is helping the County achieve a AAA bond rating from Standard and Poor's in 2013. David's legacy extends beyond his job description. He was dedicated to career development for County staff and worked to create leadership opportunities for employees, including helping establish the Contra Costa Local Government Leadership Academy in 2014. Throughout his many years with Contra Costa County, David has inspired his colleagues and peers to continue working to improve our community. In 2018, David won the Distinguished Service Award from the California Association of County Executives, a testament to his career and service.
David is known by his colleagues as a dedicated and respected leader. Please join me and Congressman Mike Thompson, Congressman Jerry McNerney, and Congressman Eric Swalwell in thanking David for his service to our County and wishing him the best in his retirement.
