   CONGRATULATING SHERIFF ROSIE CORDERO-STUTZ AND CLERK JUAN BARQUIN

  (Mr. GIMENEZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GIMENEZ. Mr. Speaker, Miami-Dade has a new sheriff in town.
  I rise today to congratulate my dear friend, Rosie Cordero-Stutz, on 
being sworn in as the first elected sheriff in Miami-Dade in over 60 
years and the first woman and Hispanic to hold the position.
  Sheriff Cordero-Stutz has been with Miami-Dade Police Department for 
nearly 30 years, rising from patrol officer to assistant director. She 
has what it takes to run the largest law enforcement agency in the 
southeastern United States.
  I also congratulate Juan Barquin on being sworn in as the clerk of 
the court and comptroller for Miami-Dade County. Clerk Barquin began 
his career in the Public Defender's Office, and he will now oversee the 
fourth largest judicial circuit in the Nation. As the watchdog for 
public records and taxpayer money, I have all the confidence that he 
will continue to do an excellent job.
  I congratulate Sheriff Cordero-Stutz and Clerk Barquin. Godspeed to 
them both. On behalf of all of the residents of Miami-Dade, I thank 
them for their service.
