                        Friday, October 14, 2022

  Mr. BISHOP of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to honor 
J.R. Rowell, an exemplary public servant in North Carolina. J.R. is 
retiring after 36 years of dedicated service to his community as a 
state trooper and the Union County Superior Court Clerk. J.R. began his 
career as a state trooper in the N.C. State Highway Patrol. He then 
continued to bravely serve North Carolinians as a 1st Sergeant for 20 
years. Following his law enforcement career, J.R. was elected to serve 
as the Union County Superior Court Clerk in 2006. Since assuming this 
position, he's sworn in nearly every elected official and judge in 
Union County over the past 16 years.
  J.R. is a Union County native and Parkwood High School alumnus. He 
studied social science and criminal justice at Gardner-Webb University 
before completing a master's degree in organizational management at 
Pfeiffer University. He's used these skills to help make Union County a 
truly great place to live and work.
  I thank J.R. for his many years of selfless service to Union County 
and the state of North Carolina. I wish him a long and happy retirement 
spent with his two children, Kane and Melody, and three grandchildren. 
Once again, congratulations to him on his successful career.
