TRIBUTE TO MIKE RANKIN

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 50 (Thursday, March 19, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 50 (Thursday, March 19, 2026)] [Senate] [Page S1365] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] TRIBUTE TO MIKE RANKIN Mr. SCHMITT. Mr. President, I rise today to commemorate the remarkable career of Deputy Mike Rankin. For over 50 years, Deputy Rankin has gone above and beyond in serving the people of Missouri as a member of the Buchanan County Sheriff's Office. As a volunteer and commander in the reserve division, he has more than proven his dedication to protecting our fellow Missourians over his impressive career and continues to serve his community admirably. His selfless choice to dedicate countless hours shielding others from danger is nothing short of remarkable and exemplifies the very best of Missouri law enforcement. Deputy Mike Rankin's dedication is truly inspiring and demonstrates an unparalleled and enduring commitment to the spirit of service. I am sincerely grateful for his decades of volunteering as a first responder and am proud to recognize him today as a Champion of Missouri. ____________________
