Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great honor to rise before you today in celebration of the United States Marshals Service

Her outstanding leadership and professionalism have led her to achieve great things in her field.
Ms. Wolford is the supervisor of one USMS employee and five asset forfeiture employees. In her role as supervisor, she oversees all activities in the District of Maryland, Delaware, Western Michigan, Western Missouri and West Virginia.
She is a past member of the US Marshals, Leadership Council and the AFO Process Mapping Team. She is also a current member of the LECC Asset Forfeiture Committee.
During her employment, she has received awards from Dundalk Community College, the Federal Bar Association, the Maryland State Police, and the Asset Forfeiture Office. Ms. Wolford has received many letters of commendation, clean audit reports and outstanding performance awards.
Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to represent such a hard working and dedicated person in the Second Congressional District of Maryland. Ms. Karen Wolford is truly deserving of all the awards and acknowledgements she has received.
