Congressman-elect Magaziner’s Statement on the Second Anniversary of the Capitol Insurrection 

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman-elect Seth Magaziner released the following statement in commemoration of the second anniversary of the January 6th Capitol Insurrection. 

“Today, I join Americans from both parties to remember the deadly attack on the United States Capitol and honor the five brave police officers who lost their lives in defense of our democracy. I thank all members of law enforcement who answered the call of duty that day, despite great risk to their personal safety and wellbeing. Because of their heroism, the peaceful transfer of power was able to proceed.

We came perilously close to losing our democracy on January 6th, 2021, and we must never allow anything like it to ever happen again. We must hold those responsible for inciting the attack on the Capitol to account. We must speak out against those on the radical fringe who aim to undermine our democratic processes. We must take action to strengthen our democracy and protect our elections from future threats. 

Last November, Americans overwhelmingly rejected extremism, but we cannot afford to let our guard down. As your Member of Congress, I will always defend our democracy – and the Constitution  – against all those who seek to tear it down.”
