What I saw today in Newark is a scene I never imagined experiencing in my lifetime. But I refuse to believe today reflects who we are as a country. We must all commit to correcting the course our country is on. Standing side by side, I know we can achieve those better tomorrows - together.

My statement on the events that occurred at Delaney Hall today:

Today was a tragic day in the district. The loss of six lives is horrific. We are working with all levels of government including the NTSB and will continue to do so.

This is also a painful reminder of the work that remains to keep our communities and skies safe. I’m committed to seeing it through.
