Rep. Gabrielle Giffords Steps Down from Congress

Congresswoman Giffords was an outstanding member of Congress who served with great honor. Among many things she worked for border security and solar programs for Arizona and did so in a bipartisan manner. She deserves our support and thanks.

On Monday, January 23rd she met with Bill Carnegie, CEO of the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona for her last official act in Tucson as a member of Congress.

I hope she continues her remarkable recovery and can one day return to serve Southern Arizona again.

“Arizona is my home, always will be. A lot has happened over the past year. We cannot change that. But I know on the issues we fought for we can change things for the better. Jobs, border security, veterans. We can do so much more by working together. I don’t remember much from that horrible day, but I will never forget the trust you placed in me to be your voice. Thank you for your prayers and for giving me time to recover. I have more work to do on my recovery so to do what is best for Arizona I will step down this week. I’m getting better. Every day, my spirit is high. I will return and we will work together for Arizona and this great country. Thank you very much.”
