“Madam Speaker, I rise to honor Everett Beauregard, who 1 year ago tomorrow was senselessly taken from us in an act of gun violence in Philadelphia. I thank Everett's family and friends for joining us in the House gallery this morning and also thank them for the opportunity to stand with them last year to commemorate Everett's beautiful life. I am here today because, like so many others, Everett impacted my life and the lives of my staff for the better. In 2018, Everett worked for me, helping my team in enthusiastically engaging with Philadelphia residents about the issues that were most important to them. His commitment to serving the public was evident from the outset. It was and is something for which I will always be grateful. As we mark this tragic anniversary, I reiterate the Beauregard family's ask that anyone with information regarding this senseless act of violence please come forward. Your help can bring the person responsible for this heinous act to justice. Every piece of information, no matter how small, can help bring a sense of closure to Everett's family and many friends. You have the power to come forward and help. I implore you to do so. Thank you, God, for this wonderful human being you gave us. ____________________”
