Friend --

I've got a few pieces of important news to share (be sure to read to the end), which should only take up a minute or two of your time.

The first is that I've been called upon to serve on the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol.  And, despite threats of retribution from my party's leadership, I've accepted the appointment.

While I've said repeatedly that an Independent Commission, composed of equal numbers of Republicans and Democrats NOT holding or seeking office, would be the least political way to discover the full truth, that effort was blocked by Republican leaders. This Select Committee is our next best chance to arrive at the truth, and I will do everything in my power to ensure the process follows the truth wherever it may lead -- without fear or favor, no matter the political cost.

I don't kid myself that serving on this committee will make it any easier to get re-elected -- it will be harder.  But, I learned a long time ago that the path of least resistance is rarely the path of wisdom, and doing what's easy will rarely make you proud.

We owe it to every American, and to history, to uncover the full truth of what happened on and before January 6th to help ensure future generations never have to witness such a horrific day.  That is putting our Country First, and exactly what I vow to do.

And speaking of future generations, please allow a pivot to a point of personal privilege: I am thrilled to share that Sofia and I are expecting our first child, a son, in January. His impending arrival certainly crystallizes for me what we're all working so hard to do -- hand our kids and grandkids a better country than the one we inherited, fortified through the noble efforts of reasonable people of goodwill seeking common ground.  That's no easy feat, but the alternative, ultimately, would be far harder to bear.

If you've read this far, thank you for all you do to bring this movement to life -- particularly the prayers, encouragement, and enthusiasm.  We couldn't do it without you (and I wouldn't want to).

Country First,

Adam
