Congressman Jimmy Patronis is leading the companion resolution in the House of Representatives.\n\nSenator Rick Scott said, \u201cCharlie was a magnetic leader, a loving father and husband, and a friend and inspiration to so many. His loss is devastating, and I\u2019ll always cherish the friendship I had with him. Charlie loved our nation and its founding principles and believed deeply in his faith, in his family, and in beauty of ideas and discussion. He lived with purpose and conviction, never shying away from hard truths and hard conversations, and always believing that the strength of our ideas and our faith could bring people together. Charlie worked to make our nation a better place in his 31 years before he was lost in an evil act of political violence, and will leave a lasting legacy on our nation. We know what Charlie would want us to do: he\u2019d want us to stand strong by the ideas we believe in, have discussions, carry on with hope, strength and courage, and look to God for guidance. I am proud to lead a resolution honoring Charlie\u2019s legacy as an American patriot by designating October 14th, what would have been his 32nd birthday, as National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk \u2013 a day to come together, pray, and celebrate Charlie\u2019s impact on the nation.\u201d\n\nCongressman Jimmy Patronis said, \u201cCharlie Kirk\u2019s influence reached far beyond politics. He was a fearless defender of faith, freedom, and the principles that make America great, inspiring young people to lead with courage and conviction. On campuses nationwide, he showed that tough conversations could be met with respect and charisma. A National Day of Remembrance will carry his legacy forward, inspiring future generations to speak boldly for freedom. A National Day of Remembrance in Charlie\u2019s name will ensure his legacy will continue to inspire future generations to speak bravely and boldly. I am grateful to Senator Scott for introducing this resolution in the U.S. Senate, and I am honored to join him in this effort to preserve Charlie\u2019s memory and mission.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-03-30T11:08:25Z"]], "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://www.rickscott.senate.gov/2025/9/sen-rick-scott-announces-resolution-designating-october-14th-as-national-day-of-remembrance-for-charlie-kirk"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5794839709997177, "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"}
