Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and remember Gilchrist County Sheriff's Sergeant Noel Ramirez and Deputy Taylor Lindsey who were both gunned down in the line of duty 3 years ago today. On April 19, 2018, Sergeant Ramirez and Deputy Lindsey were eating lunch at a restaurant in Trenton, Florida, when a coward fired through a window and killed both officers in the line of duty. That man--whose name does not deserve to be mentioned--killed those two officers, consumed by a radical hate for law enforcement. That same hate for law enforcement that we saw then I continue to see today. Now more than ever we need to publicly and boldly support our law enforcement officers. Noel and Taylor's deaths remind us of the constant vigilance that an officer needs to have in order to return home safely to their families every night. Being an LEO is a difficult and often thankless job. I want to take a moment to thank Sergeant Ramirez and Deputy Lindsey for their service and sacrifice to our community. We honor their legacy by continuing to say their names and remember their sacrifice and love for our hometown. I pledge to always have our brothers and sisters in uniform's six. ____________________”
