"This building, the Capitol, which Thomas Jefferson called 'the first temple dedicated to the sovereignty of the people' stands for more than just us. It stands for tomorrow and the day after that. It stands for a future for all people and while it may seem to be a leap to some, this very small subcommittee is at the forefront as one of the protectors of representative democracy. But we cannot militarize the Capitol in response to an attempted ransacking of representative democracy."
"This subject is so critical, especially now. In the midst of the constant and relentless heartbreak of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many of us are still reeling from the events of January 6 – when the cradle of our democracy was viciously attacked."
"We are going to have some tough decisions to make over the next few months. While this subcommittee is small in size, it has a very important function and I am proud to be working with all my colleagues to address any physical changes needed to ensure the Capitol Complex is safe for Members of Congress to carry out our constitutional duties; provide resources to our Capitol Hill community to heal from this traumatic event; maintain a safe and open campus as much as possible, so that visitors from across the country and around the world can witness representative democracy in action."
