John,

Two years ago today, the future of our country changed forever when armed insurrectionists stormed the Capitol building.

Donald Trump’s claims of a stolen election and violent rhetoric motivated these extremists to stop at nothing to tear down our democracy. 

Last year, I wrote to you to ask you to support the House committee’s crucial investigation into January 6. Now, we’re entering a new era of Congress, but our work to defend democracy continues. With a Republican-led House of Representatives, it is more important than ever to remain vigilant in our fight to protect fundamental rights and freedoms.

Protecting our democracy is hard work. We cannot brush the ugly past under the rug. We must continue to confront the truth of what happened that day. 

My promise to you is the same as last year—I will do whatever it takes to deliver justice and protect the future of our nation.

My best,

Dick Durbin
