Political Quotes

“I rise to mark National Police Week and express my thanks and support for the law enforcement officers in New Hampshire and across the country. Our police answer the call every day, regardless of the danger they might face. They do indispensable work to fight crime, keep the peace, and provide assistance to those in need. This week, we honor those tragically lost in the line of duty, and we can never forget their sacrifice. We must give support and respect to everyone who wears the uniform, as well as their families. I have had the privilege to work with the New Hampshire law enforcement community, and I am grateful for their professionalism and leadership. They deserve the resources to do their jobs. We should be passing legislation to increase funding for our local departments to modernize public safety infrastructure, provide new technology and equipment, and hire and train more officers. Mr. Speaker, I join my colleagues in thanking the men and women who swear an oath to protect and serve and keep us safe.”
