Mr. Kennedy of Utah (for himself, Mr. Owens, Mr. Moore of Utah, and Ms. Maloy) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
Condemning the assassination of Charlie Kirk and honoring his life and legacy.
Whereas Charlie Kirk was horrifically assassinated on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University while speaking to a large group of college students;
Whereas Charlie Kirk was a devoted husband, father, and Christian;
Whereas, in 2012, Charlie Kirk founded Turning Point USA, a conservative campus advocacy group that quickly became one of the fastest growing college campus chapter organizations in the country; and
Whereas Charlie Kirk frequently engaged college students of all political backgrounds in open debates and discussion, encouraging civil discourse on college campuses and among college students: Now, therefore, be it
That the House—
(1)
condemns the assassination of Charlie Kirk in the strongest possible terms;
(2)
extends its deepest condolences and sympathies to Charlie Kirk’s family, including his wife, Erika, and their two young children; and
(3)
honors Charlie Kirk’s commitment to the constitutional principles of civil discussion and debate between all people of the United States, regardless of political affiliation.
