Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, today is the National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims, and we honor the family, friends, and loved ones whose lives have been taken far too soon by violence. I rise in recognition of one of my constituents, Jackie Rowe-Adams, cofounder of Harlem Mothers S.A.V.E., who has dedicated her tireless efforts to ending gun violence and murder in communities across my district. Gun violence has become far too prevalent in New York City and in communities around the Nation. It is undeniably a national crisis. Today, we remember those lost to homicide. We honor their memories and uplift their loved ones. Far too many lives in my district have been lost to gun violence and far too many families have been impacted. Congress must come together now and work toward a future where gun violence no longer plagues America and we can keep our communities safe. I thank Jackie Rowe-Adams for everything she does for us. ____________________”
