STEVE E. LANDIN ______ HON. HENRY CUELLAR of texas in the house of representatives Wednesday, December 11, 2024 Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the service of Mr. Steve E. Landin of Laredo, Texas. A lifelong civil servant, Mr. Landin has dedicated his career to the people of South Texas. He began his career with the City of Laredo in April 1990 and obtained an Associate's Degree in Fire Technology, as well as a Bachelor's Degree in Finance and Economics with an emphasis in Fire Administration. Over the course of his 30-year career with the City of Laredo, Mr. Landin served as Fire Chief and Emergency Management Coordinator for twelve years. He retired from the city in May 2020 and joined Webb County to serve as Emergency Management Coordinator for two years. Then, in August 2022, Mr. Landin rejoined the City of Laredo to serve as Assistant City Manager and Acting Chief of Police. In his role as an Assistant City Manager, he oversees more than ten different departments in his current role. This makes him one of only 22 people in American history to serve as both Police Chief and Fire Chief in their community. He's also giving his expertise back to the community. Mr. Landin is an instructor in rescue, EMS, Haz-Mat, Peace Officer, and Fire Service. He is also a Catholic Deacon. He serves the Diocese of Laredo at St Patrick Catholic Church in Laredo. Mr. Speaker, let us all dedicate ourselves to public service just as Mr. Landin has. ____________________
