Dear John,
I just voted to impeach President Donald Trump for inciting violence against the United States. Last Wednesday, domestic terrorists – inspired by the president – led an insurrection on the U.S. Capitol to overturn the presidential election and overthrow the government.
Several House Republicans joined my colleagues and me in impeaching this president. The bipartisan nature of this historic vote highlights the urgency in removing Donald Trump from office.
I take my oath to the Constitution and my service to my constituents in Los Angeles seriously. To stay silent after the tragic events of last week would have been a dereliction of my Congressional duty. Our democracy is resilient, but we still must fight for it every day.
