Yesterday, our Congressional District lost a hero, Sergeant Chris Fisher of the Warm Springs Police Department.
Sergeant Fisher was ambushed, shot and killed while serving his community in the line of duty.
Prior to joining the Warm Springs Police Department, Sergeant Fisher proudly served our part of Georgia as a sworn law enforcement officer of the Fayette, Heard, and Meriwether County Sheriff’s Offices, and he honorably served our country in the U.S. Army.
The son of a law enforcement officer, Sergeant Fisher was a wonderful father of two young children and a loving husband to his wife, Carly.
I spoke with his family earlier, and when the United States Congress returns to session, I — and my colleagues — will honor Sergeant Fisher’s legacy of service and bravery from the Floor of the House.
May our prayers be with the Fisher family and our law enforcement community during this devastating time.
