                                 ______
                                 

                      REMEMBERING SCOTT McCORMICK

 Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. President, I rise today to honor the life of 
Crossett, AR, Mayor Scott McCormick. Mayor McCormick passed away on 
April 16, 2020.
  Mayor McCormick spent his life serving his community. He was a proud 
member of the Crossett Police Department who joined the force in 1978. 
In the two decades that followed, he honorably performed numerous roles 
including working as a criminal investigator. He earned the rank of 
captain before he left the department in 1998 after 20 years of 
protecting the citizens of Crossett.
  Mayor McCormick was dedicated to his community and continued working 
for the people. Shortly after hanging up his badge, he was elected 
mayor of Crossett, and the public went on to place its trust in his 
leadership five additional times.
  He was certainly beloved. The citizens of Crossett appreciated his 
commitment and hands-on approach which he demonstrated by attending 
numerous events throughout the years, being available to citizens and 
revealing a willingness to listen.
  His leadership was also valuable to organizations across the State. 
He was a member of the Arkansas Municipal League's Executive Council, 
First Class Cities Advisory Council, and the Public Safety Advisory 
Council, in addition to other groups.
  He inspired the people of Crossett to work together in support of the 
community and encouraged respect for all citizens.
  I am grateful for Mayor McCormick's decades of public service and for 
the way he devoted his life to his faith, family, and community. I pray 
God will bless the McCormick family and the people of Crossett as they 
cope with this loss and celebrate the life of Mayor Scott 
McCormick.
