Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., is circulating a letter among lawmakers calling for a statue of Charlie Kirk in the U.S. Capitol.
Eleven other lawmakers, all Republicans, have signed the letter urging Johnson to approve the statue.
“I owe my entire political career to Charlie Kirk. I would quite literally not be in office today if it weren’t for him. Even when my own party was working against me, Charlie endorsed me and campaigned to help me win election,” she posted on X.
“Today, I am urging [Speaker Johnson] to place a statue of Charlie in the US Capitol to honor his legacy and to serve as a permanent testament to his life, work, and sacrifice.”
Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday during an open-air event at Utah Valley University. He suffered a gunshot wound to the neck and died at the hospital.
