WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12) released the following statement after Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all charges in the murder of George Floyd:

“Almost one year later, a mother is still mourning her son, a daughter is still growing up without her father, and a brother is still grieving a friend. A conviction like this does not bring George Floyd back to his family, but it sets a precedent and protects other families from suffering similar pain and tragedy. I commend the jury for their decision and urge my colleagues to work together to ensure our country can simultaneously uphold racial justice and public safety. I hope the Floyd family is able to find peace as time goes on – my heart continues to hurt for them, for Black communities, and for our nation as we grieve together.”
