117th Congress Updates from Rep. Palmer
February 9, 2021
Dear Friends,
With all the hardship associated with the pandemic and riots, many people thought 2021 would have to be much better. Unfortunately, the riot at the United States Capitol on January 6th showed that this year may bring even more trouble and hardship. I certainly hope not.
January 6th was undoubtedly one of the darkest days I've experienced during my time in Congress, but I was appreciative of the many sympathetic messages I received. I am saddened by what happened, but I also remain convinced that we can weather this challenging political season. If American history has taught us anything, it is that Americans are a resilient and hopeful people. This past year has been the strangest and most challenging one in a generation, but I have hope that we can move forward together. We have a tough journey ahead of us, and I know there will be much work to do as we fight the already radical policy measures of the new administration, but our country is worth it and I hope you'll join me.
