On the recordMay 5, 2025

A tragic incident occurred last night in my district outside the El Camaron Gigante restaurant in Glendale. A senseless act of violence took the lives of three people, injured five others, and shattered our community. I am heartbroken to say that my district has once again been touched by gun violence as far, far too many have. No one should be unsafe in this country eating in a restaurant or celebrating a holiday like Cinco de Mayo with friends and family. Mr. Speaker, in memory of the innocent victims of this tragedy, their families, and the entire community, I would ask for everyone present in the Chamber to please rise for a moment of silence. ____________________
