Dear Friend,

One week ago, I stood on the House floor to defend our Constitution, our republic and the will of the American people, by certifying the results of the 2020 election. Moments after I rose to address the chamber and oppose baseless objections to our certification process, the U.S. Capitol was breached, as armed insurrectionists stormed the building and we were evacuated from the House floor. Wednesday’s attack left multiple dead, injured countless police officers and left tremendous damage.

This was an attack on our American government, on our democracy and a very present threat to the peaceful transfer of power. It is profoundly clear this attack would not have happened without President Trump’s incitement. In doing so, he has betrayed his oath of office, and he is no longer fit to serve. 

Yesterday as the House voted to impeach President Donald Trump for inciting a violent insurrection, I voted yes. 

I am humbled that Speaker Pelosi has asked me to serve as an impeachment manager as we anticipate a trial in the U.S. Senate. This is a solemn duty and one I do not take lightly. It is vital that we finish the work began the morning of January 6th to defend our constitution and protect our republic, and that's exactly what I intend to do.

Sincerely,
