Congressman Troy Carter Statement on the First Anniversary of the Attack on the U.S. Capitol
WASHINGTON, D.C. – On the first anniversary of the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol, Congressman Troy A. Carter Sr. released the following statement:
“Like most Americans, I witnessed the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol through the television screen — I was still running for election to the House of Representatives.
Even from a thousand miles away, the insurrectionist’s brutal and conspiracy-driven attack on our democratic system and this sacred building shook me to my core.
I honor the experiences and bravery of the Capitol Police, Members of Congress, staff, and law enforcement who went through this traumatic event and I stand with the work of the Select Committee on the January 6 Attack to determine the full truth and keep seditionists accountable.
Congress must strengthen the pillars of our beloved American democracy to ensure that we both protect the voting and civil rights of our citizenry, and never see another dark day like January 6th again.”
