The Presidential Citizens Medal, one of the nation’s highest civilian honors, is awarded to citizens of the United States who have performed admirable deeds of service for their country or their fellow citizens. “I am honored to receive the Presidential Citizens Medal from President Biden. From my time as a student in Mississippi at Tougaloo College to the halls of Congress, including my time as the Chairman of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the United States Capitol, I have had an unwavering commitment to upholding the Constitution and defending democracy. Throughout my nearly six decades as a public servant, whether on the local or federal level, I have worked to ensure that democratic principles work for all Americans, not just a select few.” President Biden will conduct the Presidential Citizens Medal presentation in the East Room of The White House Thursday, January 2, 2025 at 5:00pm EST / 4:00 PM CST. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T17:10:36Z |
