Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the commitment of a devoted central Washington public servant, Kevin Fuhr. Formerly the chief of police for Moses Lake, Chief Fuhr has concluded an illustrious 32-year career in law enforcement and is now ready to move on to the next chapter of his life. While other regions of Washington had trouble hiring new police officers, Chief Fuhr's leadership drew people to his department in the pursuit of working with him. Chief Fuhr's force also spearheaded an exceptional outreach program, and his leadership on my Central Washington Fentanyl Task Force has fostered a remarkable level of trust within our communities. When most folks retire, they look forward to all the spare time they will have. Not Chief Fuhr, as he has recently been hired as the city manager for Moses Lake, underscoring his unwavering dedication to central Washington. I have known Kevin for a long time and am proud to call him a dear friend. His leadership, integrity, and commitment to the prosperity of our region have resulted in a wonderful career with so much to show for it. It has been a pleasure working with him, and I am looking forward to that continuing in his new role. ____________________”
