The Attack on Our Capitol and Our Democracy

Dear friend,

I could have never imagined the violence and lawlessness that I saw in the United States Capitol last Wednesday. Americans across the country watched in horror as a violent mob beat down the doors of the U.S. Capitol. Like many of you, this armed insurrection left me heartbroken and deeply disturbed.

Our current President threatens the very foundation of our democracy and the safety of our country. That is why I am calling on him to be removed from office immediately.

I do not say this lightly, but his instigation of violence and failure to activate security forces to protect the Capitol or call on his supporters to stop their attack make him a threat to America for every hour that he remains in the Oval Office. For the good of the country, President Trump needs to be removed from office immediately through the 25th Amendment or impeachment.

Through all of this, my colleagues and I were committed to fulfilling our constitutional duty to certify the election of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. We have a long way to go to heal our nation after this week, and I am committed to doing my part to end this national nightmare.

As always, I am here to help you. If you need assistance at this difficult time, please do not hesitate to contact my Kirkland office at (425) 485-0085. For more updates on what I’m doing for WA-01, you can follow me on social media at the links above.

Stay safe and stay healthy,

Suzan
