Political Quotes

“I rise to honor the life, service, and sacrifice of two of Idaho's bravest we have lost way too soon during an appalling ambush attack in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. On Sunday, June 29, 2025, Battalion Chiefs Frank Harwood and John Morrison answered the call, as always, to reports of a fire on Canfield Mountain. Upon arriving at the scene, they were cruelly ambushed by gunfire from a disturbed, cowardly individual. As a result of shots fired, Chiefs Harwood and Morrison tragically succumbed to their injuries, and their colleague, David Tysdal, an engineer with the Coeur d'Alene Fire Department, was severely wounded, but thankfully is now recovering. This evil act against our firefighters does not represent the Idaho way. I ask all Idahoans and Americans to pray for full recovery for Mr. Tysdal and for comfort for all families involved. These men represent the very best of Idaho. Their courage, heroism, and dedication will never be forgotten.”
