Rep. Rick Larsen (WA-02) released the below statement on the second anniversary of the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol:

"On January 6, 2021, I was in my office in the Rayburn House Office Building as violent domestic terrorists stormed the Capitol, attacked law enforcement and threatened the exercise of our democracy. Democracy bent but did not break on January 6. I never doubted the outcome of that day: Congress would affirm the election of President Biden and Vice President Harris.  

"Two years later, the January 6th Committee has completed its thorough investigation and filed a report that establishes a clear historical record and contains several legislative recommendations to prevent another deadly attack. Congress recently enacted the bipartisan Electoral Count Reform Act to close loopholes in how presidential elections are conducted.

"However, Congress must do more to improve elections and strengthen democracy. The American people overwhelmingly support legislation like the For The People Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act that clean up elections, protect the right to vote and guarantee every American’s voice is heard at the ballot box.

"January 6 is not a day to agonize. It is a day to remember, organize and move forward. Join me today in remembering the five officers who lost their lives as a result of the attack and honoring the more than 140 who were injured defending democracy. And join me in organizing for voting rights to move our country forward and prevent another January 6 from ever happening again."
