Political Quotes

“this National Police Week, I thank the brave men and women of law enforcement who put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Their courage and service will never be forgotten. I want to recognize two law enforcement officers from Wisconsin's Seventh District who recently retired after decades of service. Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald, ``Fitzy,'' served for 28 years in law enforcement, including 17 years as sheriff. His leadership and commitment made a lasting impact on his community. I wish Sheriff Fitzgerald the best in the next chapter of his life. Rusk County Sheriff Jeff Wallace retired earlier this year after 28 years in law enforcement, including 10 years as sheriff. We are grateful for Sheriff Wallace's service. I also congratulate Jim Peglow. After 31 years with the Neenah- Menasha Fire Rescue and an additional 9 years with the Minocqua Fire and Rescue, Jim has answered his final call. We thank all of our law enforcement officers, firefighters, and first responders. Our communities are safer because of them.”
