Congresswoman Lee Releases Statement Marking Two Years Since the January 6th Insurrection

WASHINGTON – Today, Congresswoman Susie Lee (NV-03) released the following statement marking the two-year anniversary of the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol:

"Two years ago, a deadly assault was waged on the U.S. Capitol, Congress, and our country. The insurrection was an attack on democracy itself and the peaceful transfer of power. As we remember January 6th, I remain grateful for the heroic officers who protected the Capitol. We remember the five police officers who lost their lives and honor the more than 140 who were injured as they defended our democracy.

"We must ensure that we never see such an attack on our Capitol again. That's why the bipartisan January 6th Select Committee has worked tirelessly to follow the facts, uncover the truth, and prevent another attack on our Capitol. I urge my colleagues, both Republicans and Democrats, to follow the recommendations of this committee, so that those responsible are brought to justice and we can ensure that this dark chapter of our history is never repeated."
