Statement on wounded Jerseyville police officer

“The recent shooting of Jerseyville’s police officer reminds me of the sacrifices our men and women in blue give to keep us as safe as possible. I pray for the officer wounded and pray for his recovery. I am close friends with the officers family, they were in my thoughts and prayers when I heard of the tragic news this morning and will continue to pray for the family during this difficult time. Thank you to all of our men and women who serve and protect, your sacrifice does not go unnoticed because you put your life at risk for us all.”
