                   HONORING WISCONSIN'S FALLEN HEROES

  (Mr. TIFFANY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. TIFFANY. Mr. Speaker, over the weekend, my district tragically 
lost the life of another police officer in the line of duty. We mourn 
the loss of St. Croix County Sheriff's Deputy Katie Leising.
  No amount of words can express the loss that Wisconsin has felt for 
our fallen heroes this year. Katie Leising, Emily Breidenbach, Hunter 
Scheel, and Peter Jerving dedicated their lives to protecting us, and 
my prayers are with the friends and family of the fallen.
  This cannot continue. In spite of these tragedies, many lawmakers 
still continue to vilify police at every turn and even call to defund 
them while allowing criminals to stay on our streets.
  Let me be clear: Our law enforcement needs our support now more than 
ever.
  I thank all of Wisconsin law enforcement. These past few months have 
been tough, but we will get through them together.
  Violence toward our police officers is something that we will not 
tolerate, and please know that Wisconsin's Seventh District stands 
behind law enforcement.
