                   HONORING THE CAREER OF DEB SCHULTZ

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. JIM BANKS

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 7, 2022

  Mr. BANKS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Deb Schultz of Noble 
County, who is retiring this week from the Noble County clerk's office 
after 22 years of service.
  Deb has served Noble County with excellence. As Deputy Clerk, Deb's 
primary responsibility was helping oversee elections. Processing new 
voter registration, communicating with state election officials, 
monitoring poll workers, and more, she's been the resident expert to 
which many have looked up and relied on in Noble County for the last 
two-plus decades.
  Deb deserves special praise for her efforts in Fall 2020, which she 
described as having been ``very difficult.'' Tasked with having to 
approve and process hundreds of mail-in ballots and navigating the 
upending of other standard operating procedures, Deb nonetheless 
successfully oversaw the election's administration which Noble County 
residents agree was safe and secure.
  During her tenure as Deputy Clerk, many county clerks came and went, 
all of whom relied heavily on Deb's expertise and ability. She leaves 
behind a legacy that will not soon be forgotten and which has left an 
indelible mark on the community. As she closes this chapter of her life 
and begins a new one, I wish Deb the best and thank her for her 
commitment to Noble County and to the continuity of American democracy.
