RECOGNIZING SHERIFF'S DEPUTY CHASE MASON Congressional Record, Volume 170 Issue 189 (Thursday, December 19, 2024) [Congressional Record Volume 170, Number 189 (Thursday, December 19, 2024)] [House] [Pages H7385-H7386] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING SHERIFF'S DEPUTY CHASE MASON (Mr. WIED asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. WIED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Shawano County Sheriff's Deputy Chase Mason, who went out of his way to help a local kid in our district while on duty. Last month, a local boy called 911 for a very important reason: to ask for assistance with his math homework. The child told the dispatcher that his family wasn't very good at math either and needed help. Deputy Chase Mason went above and beyond to respond to the call while he himself admitted he wasn't overly proficient in math. Ultimately, Deputy Mason and the kid were able to work together to solve the problem. [[Page H7386]] Deputy Mason's assistance to this local boy shows us just how much our law enforcement cares for their community and how lucky we are to have them. Wisconsin's Eighth Congressional District is home to some of the greatest law enforcement officers in the country, and I am proud to stand with them. Mr. Speaker, I thank Sheriff's Deputy Mason for going out of his way and for his service to Shawano County. ____________________
