                            HON. PETE OLSON

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 15, 2017

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Shannon Dresser 
of Katy for winning the Miss Texas 2017 title.
  Shannon has been competing in pageants since she was 12 years-old, 
and has competed in 15 overall. As Miss Texas, Shannon has partnered 
with the Teen and Police Services Academy, to help with their mentoring 
program to reduce the social gap between police officers and at risk 
youth. This organization is important to Shannon as she is a police 
officer for the Katy Independent School District. Being a fourth 
generation police officer, Shannon continues to take steps to help and 
motivate people.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Shannon Dresser for being named Miss Texas. 
Her work to encourage and motivate kids, while keeping our community 
safe is an inspiration. Great work.
