                        Tuesday, March 16, 2021

  Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the service 
of Sheriff Scott Strait, who recently retired after serving the people 
of Mackinac County for nearly 35 years. Through his selflessness and 
devotion to the common good, Scott has become an indispensable part of 
the state of Michigan.
  After graduating from Lake Superior State University, Scott began his 
work at the Mackinac County Sheriff's Office on April 28, 1986. In his 
service he worked tirelessly to improve the lives of those in Mackinac 
County and across Michigan. He also continued his professional growth 
while working full time, earning his Master of Public Administration 
from Northern Michigan University in 2001. Scott has been an active 
leader throughout the state, serving on multiple statewide boards and 
councils including the Board of Directors for the Michigan Sheriffs 
Association. He also served as President of the Association in 2013 and 
previously sat on the outreach committee of the National Sheriffs 
Association. He has been honored for his selflessness on multiple 
occasions, including earning the rank of Master Sheriff in 2019 and 
being named Sheriff of the Year in October of 2020. Scott's tireless 
dedication to the public good touched the lives of countless 
Michiganders, and the impact of his work cannot be overstated.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of my constituents, I ask you to join me in 
honoring the service of Scott Strait. Michiganders can take great pride 
in knowing the First District is home to such a selfless leader. On 
behalf of my constituents, I wish Scott all the best in his future 
endeavors.
