HONORING ERIKA SERRATO

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 121 (Thursday, July 23, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 121 (Thursday, July 23, 2026)] [House] [Pages H5188-H5189] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] {time} 1050 HONORING ERIKA SERRATO (Mr. LUTTRELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. LUTTRELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Montgomery County Sheriff's Deputy Erika Serrato, who was killed in the line of duty this year on June 28. With 6 years of service protecting our community, she began her career at [[Page H5189]] just 18 years old as a detention officer and ascended the ranks to deputy sheriff earlier this year. Erika lived a life of service and embodied the values of courage, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to protecting others. On behalf of the Texas Eighth Congressional District, I am grateful for all that Erika did to protect the citizens of Montgomery County. As our community grapples with the immeasurable loss, my prayers are with the family, friends, and the entire Montgomery County Sheriff's Office during this difficult time. May Erika rest in peace. ____________________
