“Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 83 (Friday, May 15, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 83 (Friday, May 15, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Pages E455-E456] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CONGRATULATING PEORIA POLICE CHIEF ERIC ECHEVARRIA ON HIS RETIREMENT _____ HON. DARIN LaHOOD of illinois in the house of representatives Friday, May 15, 2026 Mr. LaHOOD. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize and honor Peoria Police Chief Eric Echevarria on his retirement and thank him for his decades of dedicated service to the people of Illinois and our Nation. Chief Echevarria has served as Chief of the Peoria Police Department for the past five years, leading the department with professionalism, integrity, and a commitment to strengthening public safety throughout the Peoria community. Prior to his service in Peoria, Chief Echevarria dedicated twenty-two years to the Elgin Police Department, where he rose through the ranks and built a reputation as a respected law enforcement leader devoted to protecting and serving others. Before beginning his law enforcement career, Chief Echevarria proudly served four years in the United States Marine Corps. His military service instilled in him the values of discipline, leadership, and sacrifice that continued to define his career in public service. Throughout his tenure as Chief, Eric embraced innovative approaches to modern policing and worked to build stronger relationships between law enforcement and the community. Under his leadership, the department adopted new technologies to address crime more effectively, incorporated social workers into co- responder units to better assist individuals in crisis, and prioritized meaningful engagement with residents across Peoria. His efforts contributed to a significant reduction in violent crime and helped strengthen trust between officers and the community they serve. Chief Echevarria's leadership has left a lasting impact on the City of Peoria and set an example for departments across Illinois. He [[Page E456]] has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to public safety while recognizing the importance of compassion, accountability, and community partnership in effective policing. I want to extend my sincere congratulations and gratitude to Chief Eric Echevarria for his distinguished career and service to our country and communities. I wish Eric, his family, and loved ones all the best as he begins this next chapter in retirement.”

“Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 76 (Thursday, April 30, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 76 (Thursday, April 30, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E399] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING MAJOR GENERAL DONALD K. ``DK'' CARPENTER ______ HON. DARIN LaHOOD of illinois in the house of representatives Thursday, April 30, 2026 Mr. LaHOOD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the remarkable service of Major General Donald K. ``DK'' Carpenter, a native son of Illinois and a leader whose career exemplifies the very best of American military service. General Carpenter's journey began in 1983 when he enlisted as a jet engine mechanic in the United States Navy. Answering our Nation's call with honor and dedication. After transitioning to the Illinois Air National Guard, he continued to serve with distinction, rising through the enlisted ranks to Master Sergeant before earning a commission as an officer, a testament to his leadership, perseverance, and commitment to excellence. Throughout his career with the Illinois Air National Guard, including many impactful years with the 182nd Airlift Wing in Peoria, General Carpenter led Airmen in multiple deployments overseas, oversaw complex and critical maintenance operations, and helped strengthen vital partnerships with allied forces. His leadership elevated the readiness and capabilities of the units he served. In June 2023, his exceptional service and skill were recognized when he was promoted to Major General and selected to lead logistics and sustainment for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Program, managing critical global operations that keep our Nation's most advanced fighter aircraft in the air. From enlisted Airman to Major General, and from Peoria to the global stage, DK Carpenter's career embodies dedication, leadership, and the enduring spirit of the United States military. I thank him for his decades of selfless service to our Nation and to the people of Illinois, and I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring his extraordinary legacy. ____________________”
