On February 9th, two members of Congress, Rep. Henry Cuellar and Rep. Angie Craig, were victims of violent crimes. Rep. Cuellar was carjacked by three armed criminals near the Washington Navy Yard, while Rep. Craig was punched in the face and assaulted by a career criminal in the elevator to her D.C. apartment building.
Despite these traumatic events, both Representatives have remained resilient and committed to their work in Congress. Rep. Cuellar responded to the attack by saying, “I am thankful to be alive and to the police for their quick response. This is a reminder that we must remain vigilant and work together to make sure our communities are safe.” Rep. Craig released a statement expressing her gratitude to the Capitol Police for their swift response and dedication to protecting members of Congress.
The response from both Representatives is a testament to their commitment to their constituents and the people of the United States. Rep. Cuellar has served in Congress since 2005 and is a proud representative of Texas’ 28th Congressional District. Rep. Craig was elected to represent Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District in 2018 and is a strong advocate for her constituents.
The resilience of these Representatives is an example for us all. Despite the violence they experienced, they are determined to continue their work in Congress and serve their constituents. In the face of adversity, they have chosen to remain positive and focus on the important work that they do.
The courage and determination of Reps. Cuellar and Craig should be celebrated. It is a reminder to us all that we must remain vigilant and protect our communities from violence and crime. We must also remember to support our Representatives and thank them for their courage and dedication.
We must also recognize the bravery of the Capitol Police who responded quickly to the attacks on Reps. Cuellar and Craig. The Capitol Police are dedicated to protecting members of Congress and ensuring their safety. We must thank them for their service and dedication to protecting our Representatives.
The attacks on Reps. Cuellar and Craig are a reminder that violence and crime are still present in our society. We must work together to ensure that our communities are safe and that our Representatives are protected. We must also remember the courage and resilience of Reps. Cuellar and Craig and use their example to inspire us to remain positive and continue to work for the betterment of our society.
