RECOGNIZING JEFFREY A. KATZ

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 139 (Wednesday, September 2, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 139 (Wednesday, September 2, 2026)] [House] [Page H5441] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING JEFFREY A. KATZ (Mr. McGUIRE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. McGUIRE. Mr. Speaker, we wouldn't have a country without our brave men and women in law enforcement who risk their lives to keep us safe. Today, I have the privilege of recognizing a friend, a constituent, and a former law enforcement officer, Jeffrey A. Katz, from Virginia's Fifth Congressional District, whose dedication to honoring law enforcement officers has made a profound impact across central Virginia. Jeffrey A. Katz established the Lieutenant Jan McTernan Blue Friday Honor, a recognition that has been bestowed to many Federal, State, county, and city officers for their service and sacrifice. Mr. Katz' unwavering support to the law enforcement community extends far beyond the establishment of this honor. He is also a board certified mental health coach specializing in services for first responders and holds the certified advanced peer support provider designation from the Virginia Peer Support Association. Mr. Katz is an exemplary member of the Commonwealth, and I thank him for his commitment to the law enforcement community. ____________________
