RECOGNIZING BEN FAHRMANN

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 66 (Wednesday, April 15, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 66 (Wednesday, April 15, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E327] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING BEN FAHRMANN ______ HON. MIKE EZELL of mississippi in the house of representatives Wednesday, April 15, 2026 Mr. EZELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a special accomplishment by someone connected to my office--Ben Fahrmann, the brother of my Director of Operations, Olivia Fahrmann--on his graduation from the police academy on April 9, 2026. Ben is returning to serve as a Patrol Officer with the Gulf Shores Police Department after previously serving as a detention officer. This is not just a career move, it's a calling. It takes dedication, commitment, and a strong work ethic to answer that call, and Ben has demonstrated all of those qualities. He is also known for being kind and caring, traits that are just as important in law enforcement as strength and discipline. As a former law enforcement officer myself, I know the sacrifices that come with wearing the badge. Ben is stepping into a role that demands courage, integrity, and service to others. We are proud of Ben. I thank him for his service, and may God keep him safe. ____________________
