Young Kim Bill to Rename Tustin Post Office After Mayor Ursula Ellen Kennedy Passes the U.S. House of Representatives | 2026-06-29 | 2026 | 2026-06 | Republican | House | CA | Young Kim | K000397 | youngkim.house.gov | youngkim | https://youngkim.house.gov/media/press-releases/ | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation introduced by Representative Young Kim (CA-40) to rename the Tustin Post Office after the late Mayor Ursula Ellen Kennedy. This legislation would designate the U.S. Post Office at 340 East 1st Street in Tustin, California, as the “Ursula Ellen Kennedy Post Office Building,” honoring Kennedy’s historic achievements as the first woman to serve on the Tustin City Council and later as the mayor of Tustin. “At a time when few women served in public office, Ursula Kennedy earned the respect of the Tustin community through her intelligence, integrity, and unwavering commitment to public service, and I am happy to see the House recognize that legacy today,” said Rep. Young Kim.“As Tustin’s first female mayor, she helped shape the city into the community so many families proudly call home today. Her legacy continues to be felt across our region, and I am grateful to her family for partnering with me to honor her remarkable service and lasting impact.” “Our family is deeply honored that Ursula E. Kennedy is being recognized in her beloved city of Tustin. She broke barriers as a published writer who attended law school and passed the bar in her forties. She was the first woman elected to the Tustin City Council and then became the city’s first female mayor. She served with vision, humor, heart, fairness, and intelligence. We are profoundly grateful to Representative Kim for ensuring that her legacy of public service and leadership will continue to inspire generations to come,” said the Kennedy family. | 1 | 2026-06-30T06:29:10Z | 2026-06-30T06:30:42Z |
