LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON THE VIOLENT ATTACK ON REP. CRAIG

WASHINGTON, DC – Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement. 

The House Democratic Caucus family is horrified by the violent attack on Rep. Angie Craig in her own apartment building early this morning. We are all very grateful that she is safe and recovering, but appalled that this terrifying assault took place.

Thank you to the members of law enforcement who were able to quickly arrive on the scene. I have asked the House Sergeant at Arms and the United States Capitol Police to work with Angie, Cheryl and their sons to ensure that Angie and her family are safe while in our nation's capital and at home in Minnesota. We will be there for Angie in any way that she needs in the aftermath of this very difficult situation.
