Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement:

“My thoughts and prayers are with Governor Josh Shapiro and his family following the horrific arson attack on their residence. I am thankful for the quick actions of first responders to ensure no one was injured and to swiftly apprehend a suspect. Political violence of any kind is never acceptable and it is especially unconscionable to attack a Jewish family during the first night of Passover. Everyone responsible must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”
