                    RECOGNIZING SHERIFF TIMOTHY WILZ

  (Mr. WIED asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WIED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an exceptional man 
who recently celebrated 30 years of dedicated service to Waupaca County 
and the citizens of northeast Wisconsin.
  Last week, Waupaca County Sheriff Timothy Wilz reached a milestone of 
three decades of service in law enforcement. From his time as a jailer 
and dispatcher to his current role as sheriff, Timothy Wilz's 
dedication to public service is an inspiration to us all.
  It is especially fitting that his 30-year anniversary fell during 
National Police Week, a time when we honor the hard work of our law 
enforcement officers who put their lives on the line every day to keep 
our communities safe.
  Throughout his impressive career, Sheriff Wilz has served in multiple 
roles that have been essential to maintaining the safety of Waupaca 
County residents.
  Sheriff Wilz began his career in law enforcement with the Manawa 
Police Department in 1991 and became a corrections officer in 1995 with 
the

Waupaca County Sheriff's Office. Given his leadership, he was promoted 
to patrol sergeant in 2007, where he also served as a training 
coordinator.
  In 2018, he was elected to serve as the sheriff of Waupaca County due 
to his wide-ranging skill set, ample knowledge, and unwavering service 
to the people of Waupaca County.
  I had the privilege of getting to know Sheriff Wilz personally over 
the last year, and I know that he is a man of integrity who is 
committed to upholding the rule of law and protecting the people of 
Waupaca County.
  On behalf of the people of Waupaca County and Wisconsin's Eighth 
Congressional District, I thank Sheriff Wilz for his decades of 
honorable service.
