               RECOGNIZING CHIEF OF POLICE DAVID STEFFEN

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Smucker) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. SMUCKER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate a dedicated 
law enforcement officer from Pennsylvania's 11th Congressional 
District.
  Northern Lancaster County Regional Chief of Police David Steffen was 
recently selected to serve as the president of the Pennsylvania Chiefs 
of Police Association, which represents over 1,200 commanding level 
officers across local, State, and Federal law enforcement entities in 
Pennsylvania.
  Chief Steffen has spent his 40-plus-year career in law enforcement, 
having served in Jackson Township, Hampden Township, and then the 
Northern York County Regional Police Department, before being named the 
first chief of Northern Lancaster County Regional Police Department in 
2011.
  As chief of the department, Steffen leads over 30 full-time sworn 
officers and three civil staff, covering approximately 100 square miles 
in north central Lancaster County.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank Chief Steffen for supporting his 
fellow law enforcement officers, for achieving this recognition, and 
congratulate him on his new and well-deserved role.
  To Chief Steffen and law enforcement officers across Pennsylvania's 
11th District and across the country, thank you for your dedicated 
service and your efforts to keep our community safe.


               Honoring Elizabethtown Mayor Chuck Mummert

  Mr. SMUCKER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to offer my congratulations 
to Mayor Chuck Mummert of Elizabethtown Borough in Lancaster County.
  Mayor Mummert was recently named Mayor of the Year by the 
Associations of Mayors of Boroughs of Pennsylvania. Mayor Mummert has 
served the residents of Elizabethtown since 2006, in his first 4 years 
as a member of borough council there, and then since 2010 as mayor.
  In addition to this honor, Mayor Mummert, in 2018, received the 
Governor's Award for Local Government Excellence, and he previously 
served as president of the Pennsylvania State Association of Boroughs.
  Mayor Mummert is known as the singing mayor, as he is frequently 
called upon to lend his talented voice in singing the national anthem 
at events; something that I have certainly always enjoyed.
  So I want to congratulate Mayor Mummert on being named Mayor of the 
Year, and to thank him for all of his work in continuing to make 
Elizabethtown Borough an exceptional place to live, work, and raise a 
family.
