John,

Few days in our country’s history have made as big of an impact on me, and
on our democracy as January 6, 2021 — four years ago today.

I remember the January 6th attack on the Capitol like it was yesterday.

The sounds of the mob outside. Of insurrectionists storming the Capitol
building and breaking doors and windows to get in. Of the whispers between
members of Congress deciding how to protect ourselves.

The sight of Capitol police officers running toward danger. Of my
colleagues crouched on the floor, clutching masks to protect themselves
from tear gas. Of thousands of protestors assaulting Capitol Police and
desecrating the hallowed halls of Congress.

You could sense the fear and the urgency. And the anger over what this mob
was doing to overturn a free and fair election. And then, finally, once
the fighting was over and we had fulfilled our duty to certify the
election, the recognition that our democracy had survived, but barely.

John, I will
remember that day for a long time. But I will also remember what my GOP
colleagues in Congress did.

After the rioting and the mayhem, a majority of Republican members of
Congress still voted to overturn the election. Still. 147 members of
Congress — many of whom are still in office today. Insurrectionists, too.
Albeit in suits and ties.

Since that day, we have seen continued threats to our Constitution and our
democracy.

Our democracy was battered and bruised on January 6, 2021, and it has not
yet recovered.

And John,
it’s not lost on me that today, as a U.S.
Senator, I will be voting to certify the election results of the same man
who incited the January 6 insurrection. Even though I disagree with him,
even though he calls for my arrest and tries to smear me, I will vote to
certify the election — because it’s the will of the American people, and I
take this responsibility seriously.

January 6 will forever mark a somber day in our country’s history. The
impacts of that horrific day still reverberate through the halls of
Congress. But we will get through this difficult time in our history.
America is a deeply resilient country filled with patriotic citizens who
love our democracy, and those who do, vastly outnumber those trying to
tear it down.

Please take care of yourselves, and thank you for all your support during
this pivotal time in our history.

— Adam
