  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Lt. Cheryl 
Hillegeist on her impending promotion to the rank of captain in the 
Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office. This promotion will make her the 
highest-ranking female officer ever to serve the Fort Bend County 
Sheriff's Office. As a resident of Fort Bend County, I sleep better at 
night knowing officers like Lt. Hillegeist are on patrol looking out 
for my family and the great folks who call our diverse county home.
  Hillegeist's distinguished career in law enforcement has spanned 
three decades. While working with the Texas Department of Criminal 
Justice and the Fort Bend County Sheriff's office, her exemplary 
character and actions encouraged her rapid rise through the ranks and 
the earned the recognition and gratitude of her community. This well 
deserved promotion is a reflection of her stellar commitment to 
protecting our county.
  I thank Lt. Cheryl Hillegeist for her dedication to service and 
extraordinary conduct in the discharge of her public duties. On behalf 
of the residents of the Twenty-Second Congressional of Texas, 
congratulations again to Hillegeist for being promoted to captain in 
the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office.
