Donald M. Payne: “My heart is with the families and the loved ones of our colleagues…”

On the recordJune 15, 2017

My heart is with the families and the loved ones of our colleagues, House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, and all those injured yesterday: Crystal Griner, David Bailey, Matt Mika, and Zack Barth. Steve, we are all praying for you and your wife, Jennifer, and your children. We wish you a happy Father's Day and a full recovery. To the U.S. Capitol Police, you showed yesterday why you are the best at what you do. David Bailey and Crystal Griner, without hesitation, leaped into action. Had they not done that, the story could be very different today. We are grateful for your service yesterday and every day. ____________________
