Representative Adrian Smith (R-NE) issued a statement following reports that Charlie Kirk, Founder and CEO of Turning Point USA, was killed while speaking at Utah Valley University.
"The loss of Charlie Kirk marks a tragic day for American politics. Charlie was a patriot who lived his conservative values by championing free speech for all. Regardless of viewpoint, political violence is never acceptable. My prayers are with his wife and young children. May the investigation to bring his killer to justice be swift and successful," Smith said.
Smith has represented Nebraska’s 3rd district in the U.S. Congress since 2007, succeeding Tom Osborne. Before serving in Congress, he was a member of the Nebraska Legislature from 1999 to 2007. Born in Scottsbluff, Nebraska in 1970, Smith currently resides in Gering and earned his BA from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 1993.
