Today, Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01) released the following statement after joining a bipartisan vote to establish a House Select Committee to investigate the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021:
"The January 6th insurrection shocked the world, undermined our republic, and threatened to derail our democratic process with violence and chaos," said Congressman Pappas. "It is vital that we have a full accounting of what occurred before, during, and after the events of January 6th so that we can safeguard the Capitol and our institutions against future attacks. This select committee must pursue truth and accountability, and I am pleased that this work can finally begin in earnest."
On May 19, 2021, Pappas voted to pass the bipartisan H.R. 3233, The National Commission to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the United States Capitol Complex Act, which was later blocked in the Senate.
