RECOGNIZING WYOMING HIGHWAY PATROL DISPATCHER CHRIS McGUIRE
(Ms. HAGEMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. HAGEMAN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor Wyoming Highway
Patrol Dispatcher Chris McGuire, who served our State for 35 years.
Chris handled split-second decisions, juggled multiple emergencies at
once, and saved lives on Wyoming's highways. She coordinated responses
during snowstorms, rescued stranded motorists, and managed AMBER
Alerts, all while training new dispatchers and supporting her
colleagues.
Dispatching is not a job for everyone. It demands focus, courage, and
the ability to stay calm under intense pressure. Chris worked 60-hour
weeks, often sacrificing time with her family. Yet, she never wavered
in her commitment to keeping our community safe.
Public service is more than a job. It is a calling, and Chris
inspires all of us who serve and reminds us of the unsung heroes who
protect our families every day.
Mr. Speaker, Wyoming thanks Chris McGuire for her remarkable career
and unwavering service.
