Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, on April 8, 2023, Officers Emily Breidenbach and Hunter Scheel went on their final watch. They died at the hands of a gunman who then proceeded to take his life. They were young people who lived in northwestern Wisconsin. They were relatively young in their service to the State of Wisconsin and to the people of their local communities. They will be missed dearly, and it is a tragedy that their lives were taken so young. On behalf of all of the people of the Seventh Congressional District in northern and western Wisconsin, I express my condolences and our condolences. I had a chance to attend the funeral service for these two officers last Saturday, and as tragic as this was, it was uplifting at the same time because residents by the hundreds came to the funeral service. Then as I went on Highway 8 East in northern Wisconsin, hundreds of people were along the roadside holding flags with their hands over their hearts to recognize Officers Emily Breidenbach and Hunter Scheel. Mr. Speaker, I thank Officers Emily Breidenbach and Hunter Scheel for their service to our State and to our country, and I thank all of those who wear a badge and for the service they provide for all of us in America. ____________________”
