              RECOGNIZING STATE REPRESENTATIVE RICK WOMICK

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. SCOTT DesJARLAIS

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 22, 2016

  Mr. DesJARLAIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Tennessee 
State Representative Rick Womick, a constituent of Tennessee's Fourth 
Congressional District who has distinguished himself through 
outstanding public service to the people of the 34th House District and 
all Tennesseans. He has faithfully served in the Tennessee General 
Assembly from 2010 to 2016.
   As a staunch conservative, Representative Womick's Christian faith 
has guided him to safeguard the values we treasure: the United States 
Constitution, the Tennessee Constitution, the constitutional amendment 
prohibiting a state income tax in Tennessee, preserving states' rights, 
the right to keep and bear arms, recognizing the serious threat of 
radical Islam to America, and supporting Tennessee values.
   Representative Womick has a lifelong record of preserving freedom 
and protecting our country, having served in the United States Air 
Force as an officer and an F-15 Fighter Pilot during the Gulf War. He 
has also served as a Federal Law Enforcement Officer and presently 
serves as an international commercial airline pilot.
   This commendation is presented as recognition of Representative Rick 
Womick's honored service to the people of Tennessee. I thank you for 
your energy, enthusiasm, and dedication that epitomize our state 
slogan: ``Tennessee . . . America at its Best.''
   Best wishes to you and your family for great success in the future.

                          ____________________
