Statement

Date: June 13, 2016
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: National Security Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

"I join Americans and the world in mourning the victims of the Orlando shooting and praying for their families. This is a heartless and brutal attack on the LGBT community and everyone who values freedom and equality.

"We don't know all the details but it is clear that this is an act of hate. While we struggle to come to terms with this tragedy, we must not and will not succumb to fear.

"This is the most lethal terrorist attack in America since 9-11 and we must redouble our efforts to fight terrorism in all forms. As a Member of the House Intelligence Committee, I will be working closely with our intelligence officials to ensure they have the support they need to pursue terrorist threats everywhere."
