I am humbled to join my Illinois Republican colleagues in introducing a House resolution honoring Charlie\u2019s life and legacy. My prayers go out to his wife, Erika, their two young children, and all who were impacted by this horrific attack.\u201d\n\n\u201cCharlie Kirk was more than a Conservative trailblazer, he was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a Martyr for Conservatism and Christianity,\u201d said Miller. \u201cAs a proud Illinois native, his courage inspired millions to stand boldly for their faith, to love America, and defend freedom. As we honor his legacy with this Congressional Resolution, we lift Erika and their children in prayer and recommit ourselves to advance the values he boldly championed.\u201d\n\n\"Charlie Kirk\u2019s murder was a despicable act of political violence,\u201d said LaHood. \u201cHe was a husband and father who did not deserve to die simply because of his political beliefs. Charlie dedicated his life to advocating for free speech, engaging in civil discourse, and investing in the next generation of Americans. I was proud to join my colleagues in the Illinois Delegation to introduce a resolution honoring his legacy and commitment to the bettering of America. My prayers remain with Charlie\u2019s family and loved ones in light of this tragedy.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:10:29Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://bost.house.gov/2025/9/bost-miller-lahood-introduce-resolution-honoring-illinois-native-charlie-kirk"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9249523282051086, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
