Today, the House unanimously passed my bill to name a Virginia Beach post office after Ryan "Keith" Cox, a victim of the May 31 mass shooting. Keith was a hero who gave his life to save his coworkers. Please see below for video and text of my floor speech to honor Keith #VBStrongpic.twitter.com/weSlslW1kP

I was proud to introduce this bill to name a local post office after Keith. When we walk by that post office and see Keith’s name, we’ll think of his sacrifice and the lives he saved. (10/11)
