WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Jared Moskowitz (D-Florida) released the following statement on the announcement by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) and Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-New York) that he has been appointed to a bipartisan task force involving the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024:

“I am grateful to have the confidence of Speaker Johnson and Leader Jeffries to serve on this bipartisan task force. As the former Director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, I have been involved in after-action reviews to learn from the failures and successes of both natural and man-made disasters, and as a State Representative from Parkland, Florida, where 17 people died in a mass shooting at my alma mater, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, I helped to create the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Commission that investigated the failures of that day.  I look forward to working, in a bipartisan fashion, with my colleagues to provide the American people with the answers they seek from this dark moment in our nation’s history and to work on solutions to make sure nothing like this happens again,” said Moskowitz.
