STATEMENT OF DENNIS HENIGAN,
BRADY CAMPAIGN ACTING PRESIDENT, ON REP. GIFFORDS’ DECISION TO RESIGN FROM CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Brady Campaign Acting President Dennis Henigan today issued the following statement in response to U. S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ announcement that she would resign her seat in Congress this week.

“We understand but are deeply saddened by the news that Rep. Giffords has decided to resign her seat in Congress because of the demands of her continued rehabilitation from the gunshot wound she suffered a year ago in Tucson. Congress and the American people now have lost the service of another devoted public servant because of gun violence. It is sadly reminiscent of the nation’s loss of Jim Brady as Presidential press secretary due to a similar gunshot injury 30 years ago. We hope Rep. Giffords’ departure is only temporary and wish her well on her amazing and inspiring recovery.”
