                         Tuesday, March 5, 2019

  Mr. OLSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Doug Boeker 
for his recent promotion to the position of Fire Chief of the Sugar 
Land Fire Department.
  Chief Boeker has admirably served the Sugar Land community for the 
past 27 years, joining the Sugar Land Fire Department after graduating 
from a fire academy in 1992. He helped establish the Sugar Land Fired 
Up 5K and leads youth outreach programs through Shattered Dreams, 
Decisions Matter and Crud Wars. In addition Boeker implemented the 
Senior Fires and Falls safety prevention program and a critical 
ambulance service established after our Sugar Land population rapidly 
grew. While these accomplishments are unparalleled by most, Boeker 
didn't stop there. He has also served as the chief executive officer of 
NexGen Group, the general manager of Intercare Health Services and as 
the fire commissioner for the Harris-Fort Bend Emergency Services 
District No. 100. His service to our community is exceptional.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Fire Chief Doug Boeker on his promotion. We 
thank him for his dedication to keeping Sugar Land safe.
