Texas Democratic Party Issues Statement on Anniversary of January 6th United States Capitol Attack

Austin, TEXAS – Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa issued the following statement:

"On Jan 6th, Texas Democrats solemnly mark the anniversary of the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol—a dark stain on our nation’s history. We reaffirm our commitment to safeguarding democracy, upholding accountability, and ensuring the peaceful transfer of power remains a cornerstone of our republic.

“A second Trump era threatens further chaos and division–and now, Texas Democrats call upon every Texas Republican in leadership to join us in condemning the extremism that emboldened the January 6th rioters. Threats to our democracy are too present to ignore, and it is the responsibility of all leaders, regardless of party, to stand united against violence, lawlessness, and the decline of our democratic values.”
