Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) introduced a resolution allowing the U.S. House of Representatives to accept and prominently display a statue of Charlie Kirk in the U.S. Capitol, honoring his enduring legacy as a conservative leader, devoted husband and father, and unapologetic man of faith.
Charlie Kirk founded Turning Point USA in 2012, inspiring an entire generation of young Americans to embrace the principles of free markets, limited government, and the God-given rights enshrined in our founding documents. Under his leadership, millions were drawn to civic engagement, debate, and faith-based action rooted in love of country. Charlie's message was simple but powerful: America is worth fighting for. He believed in the promise of this nation and never hesitated to challenge young people to stand boldly for truth. His voice bridged divides, encouraged peaceful dialogue, and reminded us that the health of our Republic depends on moral courage and open debate. Charlie's work transcended politics-it was a ministry of conviction and purpose.
"In September, we lost a tremendous leader and a dear friend," said Congressman Biggs. "A cowardly, deranged assassin-radicalized by left-wing ideology-murdered Charlie Kirk for his beliefs. He was targeted for speaking truth, for defending faith, family, and freedom. This resolution ensures that his courage and conviction will never be forgotten.
"Charlie's assassination was meant to silence a conservative voice, but we will not be silenced. We will double down on the work Charlie dedicated his life to-defending liberty, strengthening families, and speaking truth boldly. His life reminds us that the Republic depends on peaceful debate, the rule of law, and the courage to stand firm in the face of evil.
"Charlie changed the course of our country-and his legacy will now stand in the Capitol as a permanent reminder that light is stronger than darkness, and truth will prevail."
