Five years ago, a gunman terrorized the El Paso community and stole 23 innocent lives in a massacre motivated by racism, xenophobia and white nationalist conspiracy theories. We will never forget the lives lost or the resilience of those injured on that tragic day. Today, we continue to pray for the victims, their families and the entire El Paso Community. As House Democrats, we will continue to call out the dangerous, un-American, anti-immigrant rhetoric that fueled this tragedy and keep up our fight to get deadly weapons of war off our streets. America cannot be the best version of herself until we crush the scourge of gun violence once and for all. May God bless the city of El Paso, our Latino brothers and sisters and every community that has felt the pain and heartache of our gun violence epidemic. ### Back to News Share: FacebookTwitterNewsletter Sign UpSubscribe to our e-newsletter that provides updates on important issues, my work in the Congress and what's happening in our district.EmailSubmitBill SearchPlease select and optionCurrent LegislationAll LegislationAll Sources--MembersCongressional RecordCommittee ReportsNominationsSearch for a billSubmit QueryOffice LocationsWashington, DC Office 2433 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Phone: (202) 225-5936 Hours: M-F 9 am - 5 pm Central Brooklyn District Office 55 Hanson Place Suite 603 Brooklyn, NY 11217 Phone: (718) 237-2211 Hours: M-F 9am - 5pm South Brooklyn District Office 445 Neptune Avenue, 1st Floor Community Room 2C Brooklyn, NY 11224 Phone: (718) 373-0033 Hours: M-F 9am - 5pm ToolsAccessibilityPrivacyCopyright
