                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOE NEGUSE

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, January 6, 2021

  Mr. NEGUSE. Madam Speaker, today I wish to recognize and honor the 
work of retiring Summit County Commissioner Karn Stiegelmeier. Karn has 
continuously devoted much of her time and energy to maintaining our 
beautiful public lands and environment in Summit County, Colorado--a 
community I am so proud to represent. Prior to serving as a County 
Commissioner, she worked for the National Forest Service and National 
Park Service, where she served in the crucial roles of wildland 
firefighter and park ranger, and also taught students in Summit County.
  During her time as a Summit County Commissioner, Karn continued to 
advocate for the protection of our environment and was fiercely 
determined to preserve the precious quality of life we enjoy in 
Colorado. She also continuously advocated for forest health and 
wildfire prevention, both of which have helped Colorado's Second 
Congressional District in incalculable ways.
  She has truly shown an incredible determination to better her 
community, and I thank her for her many years of service as County 
Commissioner. I am grateful for all the work Karn has done during her 
time as a Summit County Commissioner and wish her a restful and well-
deserved retirement from public service.
