Key Points

This resolution officially honors the life and work of Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, who was killed in an act of political violence in September 2025.
The House of Representatives strongly condemns the assassination and states that violence has no place in American politics, regardless of a person's beliefs.
It praises law enforcement for their work in finding a suspect and calls for a quick trial to ensure justice is served.
The document encourages all Americans to return to respectful debate and civil discussion instead of using hatred or violence to settle differences.
It offers formal condolences to Kirk's wife and two children and recognizes his efforts to promote conservative principles and the First Amendment on college campuses.
