State Senator Janae Shamp: On this solemn day of remembrance, let us pause to honor the lives lost and the heroes who rose on September 11, 2001. Let’s reflect on the resilience, unity, and strength of Americans that emerged from tragedy, keeping the memory of those affected close to our hearts. God bless America.

State Representative Quanta Crews: We need to stop and see each other’s humanity. I’m praying for our country as we tread this path. To all my colleagues I wish you and your families nothing but good health and the resources to thrive… my daily prayer for the world. There’s but one race: HUMAN

State Representative Seth Blattman: Our country will never forget the tragic loss of life that occurred on 9/11. We will also never forget the heroes of that day—the ones who ran towards danger to help others. Their courage will always be remembered.

State Representative Alexander Kolodin: A week of tragedy, both fresh and long remembered. But the future is up to us.

State Representative Michele Pena: Today, we pause to honor the lives lost, the heroes who emerged, and the strength of a nation that stood united in the face of unimaginable tragedy. #NeverForget

State Representative Nick Kupper: I remember being forced to do an extremism stand down a few years ago. Supposedly those of us who are conservative, believed in God & didn’t like abortions were somehow a threat to Biden’s “democracy”. What has infiltrated our military since then is a true threat to our entire nation. If the @DeptofWar falls then our country falls.

State Representative John Gillette: Not one American city was set ablaze or erupted in riots. We are the party of law and order. If that were an illegal, leftist, gang member... it would have been another Anifa, BLM, Soros funded shit show. Our restraint speaks for itself.
