New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli released the following statement today on the second anniversary of the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol:

“We must never minimize or become complacent about what happened on January 6. The attack on our Capitol was a fanatical attempt to prevent the orderly transition of power. It threatened the heart of our democracy, free and fair elections. Let us remember those who put their lives on the line that day defending our Capitol and work to ensure our democracy is protected against threats in the future.”
