Political Quotes

“I stand here as a Virginian, a UVA alumna, and a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives to remember the UVA football teammates who were shot and killed earlier this week. For the University of Virginia, it has been an unimaginable loss for their families, and it has been an unthinkable reality. This week, we remember Lavel Davis, Jr. We remember Devin Chandler. We remember D'Sean Perry. Both on the field and off the field, their classmates, their coaches, their professors, and their loved ones saw their commitment to success. They saw their selflessness, their curiosity, and their determination to make the University of Virginia, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and our Nation a stronger place. Please join me in remembering their lives, honoring their memories, and standing strong as their families mourn. We also stand with the University of Virginia student body, professors, the community, the entire football team, and all those who are impacted by this horrific loss. We also pray for the recovery of Michael Hollins, Jr., as he and his family continue on the long road to healing. This week has demonstrated the resilience of the UVA community. May we forever remember the lives that were lost: Lavel Davis, Jr., Devin Chandler, and D'Sean Perry. ____________________”
