“Mr. SORENSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Peoria Police Chief Eric Echevarria who is retiring from the City of Peoria Police Department. Chief Echevarria is a pillar of the Peoria community and will be truly missed. Peoria Police Chief Eric Echevarria oversees and directs all activities of the Peoria Police Department, which has almost 250 employees, the majority of them police officers. His work focuses on reducing serious crime, fostering community partnerships, improving traffic safety and promoting employee development. His achievements have been significant--driving violent gun crime down, improving the quality of life in Peoria's neighborhoods, expanding community policing, establishing a social services unit co-responder program, increasing the number of sworn personnel in the department, expanding the department's use of technology, and significantly increasing grant funding. Chief Echevarria's goal when he arrived in Peoria five years ago was simple: to leave the department and community better than he found it. He certainly has done that. It is because of selfless leaders such as Chief Echevarria that I am especially proud to serve the Illinois 17th Congressional District. Mr. Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate Chief Echevarria on his well-earned retirement and thank him for all of his contributions and service to our community. ____________________”

“Mr. SORENSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Chuck Collins, a broadcaster who has kept our district safe from storms for nearly a half century. Next week, 25News Chief Meteorologist Chuck Collins, will be walking away from the green screen. Chuck is a legend in the heart of Illinois, offering a calm voice that is trusted in the best weather and the worst storms. He grew up in Central Illinois and, I may know something about doing weather in your hometown, there's almost nothing more rewarding. Chuck's recognition will now live in the official Congressional Record for inspiring weather watchers, storm chasers, and other meteorologists. We will all be watching his final broadcast on October 15, 2025. Today, I thank Chuck Collins for his decades of commitment to Central Illinois, and I extend my best wishes to him in retirement. ____________________”
