                          HONORING KEVIN FUHR

  (Mr. NEWHOUSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the commitment 
of a devoted central Washington public servant, Kevin Fuhr.
  Formerly the chief of police for Moses Lake, Chief Fuhr has concluded 
an illustrious 32-year career in law enforcement and is now ready to 
move on to the next chapter of his life.
  While other regions of Washington had trouble hiring new police 
officers, Chief Fuhr's leadership drew people to his department in the 
pursuit of working with him. Chief Fuhr's force also spearheaded an 
exceptional outreach program, and his leadership on my Central 
Washington Fentanyl Task Force has fostered a remarkable level of trust 
within our communities.
  When most folks retire, they look forward to all the spare time they 
will have. Not Chief Fuhr, as he has recently been hired as the city 
manager for Moses Lake, underscoring his unwavering dedication to 
central Washington.
  I have known Kevin for a long time and am proud to call him a dear 
friend. His leadership, integrity, and commitment to the prosperity of 
our region have resulted in a wonderful career with so much to show for 
it. It has been a pleasure working with him, and I am looking forward 
to that continuing in his new role.
