Friday marked 25 years since September 11, 2001, a day that forever changed our country. We remember those we lost, the families whose lives were forever changed, and the first responders who ran toward danger to save others.

In the days following the attacks, Americans came together in a remarkable way. Neighbors helped neighbors, communities rallied around those in need, and our country stood united. That spirit of courage, compassion, and patriotism is something we should never forget.

As we reflect on September 11, I hope we continue to honor those we lost by remembering the courage of the heroes who answered the call and the strength of the American people during one of our nation's darkest moments.

May God bless the victims and their families, our first responders, and the United States of America.

It has been one year since we lost Charlie Kirk. Charlie dedicated his life to engaging young Americans in our political process and encouraging them to take an active role in the future of our country. He was also open about his Christian faith and the important role it played in his life.

Charlie was never afraid to speak openly about what he believed. He understood that in a free country, we will not always agree with one another. That is why it is so important that we continue to defend our right to have those disagreements peacefully and respectfully.

There is no place for political violence in America. No matter how strongly we may disagree with someone, violence can never be the answer. Our Republic depends on our ability to debate our differences, speak our minds, and ultimately settle those differences through our political process.

As we remember Charlie, I am keeping his family, friends, and loved ones in my prayers. I hope we can honor his memory by continuing to value faith, free speech, and the ability to disagree without violence.

Wishing a happy and meaningful Rosh Hashanah to everyone in Wisconsin’s Jewish community and to Jewish families across our country.

As the Jewish New Year begins, may this be a time of reflection and hope for the year ahead.

Shanah Tovah!
