Mr. Speaker, Charlie Kirk stood for the open exchange of ideas, our God-given freedoms, and spirited debate that challenged people to view the issues of the day in a different light. He reminded us to remain rooted in our faith and to seek God's wisdom every day. Civil society lost one of its most vocal defenders, there is no question about it. Let me say this: Charlie Kirk's work and impact are far from over. Everyday men and women are rallying to carry on the mantle that he once carried. Mr. Speaker, that is a powerful testament to his impact upon the world. I pray that God gives his wife, Erika, his children, and his family continued comfort. I support the resolution before us today and urge my colleagues to do the same.
