Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise in support of this important bill to better secure our Capitol complex, which includes my legislation to provide body-worn cameras to Capitol Police officers and require their use. Implementing a body-worn camera system for the United States Capitol Police was recommended in General Honore's important report. In the wake of the January 6 attack, is there any doubt that the Federal criminal investigations would have greatly benefited from additional body camera footage? In addition, in my experience as a mayor of a major American city, the city of Phoenix, I know that body-worn cameras improve safety, improve safety for officers, for the public, and for everyone in the community. They will improve safety for the people who work here at the Capitol complex. I thank Chairwoman DeLauro and Congressman Ryan for working with me on this important issue. {time} 1000”
