Congressman Crow Statement Marking Four Years Since the January 6th Attack

January 6, 2025 Press Release Crow: “We must never forget the value of standing up for democracy and working to ensure that such an attack never happens again.” WASHINGTON — Congressman Jason Crow (CO-06) released the following statement marking four years since the violent attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, when supporters of President Trump tried to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election. On that day, over 140 police officers were assaulted and injured, and five died after the attempted insurrection. In a statement, Congressman Crow said: “January 6th was a violent assault on our democracy and a dark day in American history. I will never forget being trapped in the House gallery as the mob of President Trump supporters stormed the Capitol to try and stop the certification of a free and fair presidential election. “Today, four years later, Congress will vote to certify the first presidential election since the attack, as is our constitutional duty. “We can never repeat the events of January 6, 2021. We must always work to defend our democracy, protect free and fair elections, and ensure a peaceful transfer of power. Regardless of our political beliefs, we are all Americans. Violence can never be the answer to our political differences.” ### Issues : Congress
