John Ratcliffe Honors First Responders of the 4th Congressional District

Without objection, the gentleman from Texas is recognized for one minute. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for allowing me to come to the floor and recognize several unsung heroes in the 4th Congressional District of Texas. Several counties in my district are just now beginning to recover from recent flooding at historic levels, so I appreciate the opportunity to thank all of the sheriff and fire departments and communities across our district in Grayson, Fannin, Lamar, Red River, Bowie, Hopkins, Delta, and Cass counties. Emergency coordinators like C.J. Durbin-Higgins, Joyce and Stephen Mulder, and Robert Flowers in Grayson County, and Jim Roberts, Debra Lann, and James Carlo in Bowie County, as well as so many others, are deserving of our gratitude. And while our first responders' efforts have been vital, and in some cases heroic, many folks back home are still suffering. So Mr. Speaker, I want my constituents to know that they can still reach out to my office if they need any assistance or help with any issues related to flooding. Thank you.
