Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) has introduced a resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives proposing the acceptance and prominent display of a statue honoring Charlie Kirk in the U.S. Capitol. The resolution seeks to recognize Kirk’s contributions as a conservative leader, husband, father, and advocate for faith.
Charlie Kirk founded Turning Point USA in 2012, an organization that encouraged young Americans to support free markets, limited government, and individual rights as outlined in the founding documents of the United States. Under his leadership, Turning Point USA promoted civic engagement and dialogue among youth across the country.
“In September, we lost a tremendous leader and a dear friend,” said Congressman Biggs. “A cowardly, deranged assassin—radicalized by left-wing ideology—murdered Charlie Kirk for his beliefs. He was targeted for speaking truth, for defending faith, family, and freedom. This resolution ensures that his courage and conviction will never be forgotten.”
Biggs continued: “Charlie’s assassination was meant to silence a conservative voice, but we will not be silenced. We will double down on the work Charlie dedicated his life to—defending liberty, strengthening families, and speaking truth boldly. His life reminds us that the Republic depends on peaceful debate, the rule of law, and the courage to stand firm in the face of evil.”
He added: “Charlie changed the course of our country—and his legacy will now stand in the Capitol as a permanent reminder that light is stronger than darkness, and truth will prevail.”
The legislation is cosponsored by several members of Congress including Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO), Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ), Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL), Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI), Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Rep. Keith Self (R-TX), Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN), Rep. Michael Cloud (R-TX), Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL), Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA), Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA), Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN), Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), Rep. Sheri Biggs (R-SC), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO).
Andy Biggs has represented Arizona’s 5th Congressional District since 2017 after succeeding Richard Miranda in Congress; he previously served in the Arizona Senate from 2013 to 2017 and holds degrees from Brigham Young University and University of Arizona.
