Horsford Statement on 5-Year Anniversary of January 6th Attack

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) released the following statement today marking the fifth anniversary of the January 6^th attack on the U.S. Capitol.

“Today marks five years since the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol and American democracy,” Rep. Horsford said. “As we remember that day, we honor the U.S. Capitol Police and law enforcement officers who courageously defended the peaceful transfer of power on January 6^th, 2021. More than 140 officers were injured protecting our democracy and several lost their lives in the aftermath. Attempts to rewrite or minimize what happened dishonor the service and sacrifice of those who stood up for democracy, and they will not stand. We will never forget January 6^th, and we will continue to stand for the rule of law and honor those who protected our democracy.”
