WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, House Budget Chairman Jodey Arrington (TX-19) issued the following statement further reflecting on the loss of Charlie Kirk:
"Not since the Lincoln-Douglas debates has anyone had a more positive influence on restoring the core democratic principle of exchanging ideas in an impassioned but civil debate than Charlie Kirk," said Chairman Arrington. "What he's done to restore it may be one of the greatest contributions in modern history to strengthening our Democratic Republic. It's not just Republicans or conservatives that have reaped the benefits of his courageous leadership; it's the entire country."
