Political Quotes

“I rise today to celebrate Roman Wagner, a 6-year-old from Adina with leukemia, who became Centralia Police Department's Chief for a Day. There are 18 law enforcement agencies who take part in Chief for a Day, which honors the bravery, resilience, and spirit of kids who are living with chronic diseases and illnesses. I know that good kids don't come from nowhere and that it is long work to raise a fighter who believes in public service. I thank law enforcement agencies who have advanced the long work of building safe and strong communities. To Roman, I hope the power doesn't go to his head. I hope he doesn't actually go to the playground and arrest his big brother at school. Whether he chooses to pursue a career as a zookeeper or a police officer, I want him to know he is valued and that some of our bravest civil servants stand with him wherever life leads him.”
