Senator Jim Holzapfel, Assemblyman Greg McGuckin and Assemblyman Paul Kanitra (R-10) released the following statement on the assassination of Charlie Kirk:

“The news of Charlie Kirk’s assassination has left us stunned with grief and indignation. Charlie was a fearless and passionate advocate, never afraid to speak his mind or stand firm in his beliefs. His murder is not just a personal tragedy—it’s an attack on the principles of free expression and civil discourse.

There is absolutely no place for political violence in our society.

Our hearts are with his wife, and their two young children, and all who knew him. May they find comfort in the impact he made and the values he championed. His voice may have been silenced, but his cause must not be. Justice must be done, and as a nation, we must stand united against the forces that seek to divide us through fear and violence.”
