Said, "In my district on February 22, 2024, the appalling murder of Laken Riley...devastated our community. Local and state law enforcement coordinated swiftly to arrest a suspect... The district attorney appointed a special prosecutor to ensure justice will be done."

The candidate's website says, "Unfortunately, the national Republican Party seized upon this tragedy. They are exploiting Laken Riley's name to push their agenda on immigration policy. They dishonor her with their scapegoating and showboating."

Said, "As I speak to you on March 11, our community is anguished and exhausted. We need to heal, as justice takes its course."
