Dear Friend,

I know we are all shocked, stunned, and saddened by the tragic events that unfolded on Monday morning at the Navy Yard in Washington.

I hope we keep them all in our thoughts and prayers as they begin the recovery process.

I will continue listening to the people of the Ninth District and make sure that we know all the facts before deciding on this important issue. Keep reading for more information on Syria and to learn about what else has been happening this week.
