  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Don Davis 
for his years of service as County Manager for Jefferson County, 
Colorado.
  Throughout his five years as the County Manager, Don showed 
tremendous dedication, dependability, and leadership, directing the 
organizational and administrative operations of 3,000 employees and one 
of the largest counties in the state. As the fourth-most populous 
county in Colorado which serves as the gateway from the Denver Metro 
region to the Rocky Mountains, Jefferson County has had to face a 
variety of issues in recent years ranging from the COVID-19 pandemic 
and budget shortfalls to wildfire events and infrastructure challenges. 
At every turn, Don has led with a pragmatic and innovative approach.
  Don began his post-graduate career as a Second Lieutenant in the 
United States Marine Corps and served his country through numerous 
deployments to the Middle East. Following his 27 years of service in 
the U.S. military, he retired with the rank of Colonel in 2017.
  Don has successfully navigated Jefferson County and its residents 
through an unprecedented pandemic while continuing to move the region 
forward on climate change issues and creating a better quality of life 
for all Jeff co residents. I am incredibly thankful for his service and 
dedication to the people of Jefferson County and wish him well in his 
future endeavors.
