I wanted to take some time to step away from the campaign trail for a moment and focus on something bigger than politics: Memorial Day.
Today is a day meant to honor those who gave everything in service to this country. Yes, it has become a great day to spend time with family, barbeque with friends, and celebrate the privileges we are afforded. But it’s important to remember that we can enjoy those privileges because of the sacrifices of others.
Those who went off to fight for the United States and never came back were people just like us. Fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters. All with their own stories, all with their lives cut too short in service of a greater purpose. It’s important that that greater purpose is realized so that we may truly honor their sacrifices. It is incumbent upon all of us, but especially those elected by the people, to do right by those sacrifices by standing for what is right and making this country a more peaceful and just place. Some died for democracy, so it is on us to strengthen and maintain it. Some died for freedom, so it’s on us to make sure we are all free. Some died for justice, so it is on us to root out injustice wherever we find it.
When I go to Congress, I intend to honor the sacrifices made by those who came before me and use my privilege as a member of the House to pursue legislation that promotes our democracy, ensures freedom for all Americans, and seeks justice at all times.
I hope you and your family have a safe Memorial Day.
