Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring to the life of Police Officer Lesley Zerebny, a beloved wife, devoted mother, and esteemed colleague who was tragically killed in the line of duty on October 8, 2016. Officer Zerebny was born in Hemet, CA, to David and Luanne Kling. She was raised in a law enforcement family and expressed a desire to become a police officer from a young age. In 2014, Officer Zerebny joined the Palm Springs Police Department as a police officer trainee and was promoted to police officer after graduating from the Riverside County Sheriff's Academy. Her positive attitude and commitment to the job helped Officer Zerebny stand out at the Palm Springs Police Department. She consistently accepted additional assignments and always offered a helping hand to her colleagues. She was described as ``small in stature, but fearless'' and ``fiery, creative, full of life and tough as nails.'' Hard-working, dedicated, and compassionate, Officer Zerebny courageously served her community with distinction. Officer Zerebny took enormous pride in everything she set out to do-- especially in her service as a police officer--but her proudest accomplishment was her family. On behalf of the people of California whom Officer Zerebny served so bravely, I extend my heartfelt condolences to her husband, Zach; daughter, Cora; and her parents, David and Luanne. ____________________”
