State representatives will each select a district winner who will be recognized during an October floor session as part of First Responders Appreciation Month.

It’s important that we honor our first responders who serve and protect our communities every single day. We appreciate their dedication and would like to express our gratitude for putting their lives on the line for the safety of others.
The person nominated can be a police officer or sheriff’s deputy, a firefighter or any level of EMS provider. It can also be a paid or volunteer public servant. The nomination can be predicated on a variety of factors including a specific heroic action, a significant professional achievement, community work and/or length of service.
