    THE CONCERNS OF SHERIFF JANIS MANGUM OF JACKSON COUNTY, GEORGIA

  (Mr. COLLINS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COLLINS. Mr. Speaker, while I was out campaigning, I had the 
opportunity to meet with Sheriff Janis Mangum of Jackson County, 
Georgia.
  She was very open about her concerns to protect her citizens out 
there with the defund the police, the disrespect, and just the disdain 
for law in general.
  There was also an internal concern. I saw a grief where she was 
expressing concern for a fellow deputy who had paid the ultimate price 
some 6 months earlier.
  That is leadership, Mr. Speaker. That is pure leadership.
  Anthony D'Esposito is quoted several times from the National Police 
Memorial this week: It is not how they died, but it is how they lived.
  Sheriff Janis Mangum is a shining example of that quote.
