AUGUSTA - Majority Leader Michelle Dunphy, D-Old Town, and Assistant Majority Leader Rachel Talbot Ross, D-Portland, issued the following statement in response to the breach of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021:
"We would like to recognize the lives needlessly taken during the riots at the U.S. Capitol yesterday and to mourn with the families of those lost. What we witnessed was an attack on our democracy that will not go without recourse. Even still, our Congressional delegation returned to their chamber and finished their important work. Let this serve as a reminder that no single day can halt our democratic process. Justice will prevail, and together we will build a more united nation."
