“I thank Mr. Pascrell for his leadership in the caucus, supporting law enforcement, and always being there for those in New Jersey. I am very grateful. Madam Speaker, I thank Mr. Rutherford for organizing this evening and for all he does and has done in his career for law enforcement and for his service, which continues today. We are incredibly grateful for him. I am grateful for my friendship with Mr. Bacon, who just spoke so artfully. He is vice chair of the Problem Solvers Caucus and also does a phenomenal job. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize National Police Week and to express my deep and unwavering support for the sacrifices our law enforcement officers make to keep our families and our communities safe. Every day, law enforcement officers put on bulletproof vests, kiss their loved ones good-bye, and then put their lives on the line to look out for us. That is why we must always get the backs of those who have ours. I am very proud to co-lead the bipartisan resolution that was just passed to recognize National Police Week and memorialize officers tragically killed in the line of duty. This week, as we are here with so many others recognizing National Police Week, Americans across our great Nation honor and remember the more than 26,000 law enforcement officers who have sacrificed their lives to protect our great country. We will always honor their memory. We must do all we can to support law enforcement.…”
