"Gabriel Zimmerman graduated from UC Santa Cruz in 2002 with a degree in sociology. He served as community outreach director for Representative Gabrielle Giffords. Tragically, he was one of six people fatally wounded in the Tucson, Arizona shooting rampage that also critically injured Representative Giffords. He was the first congressional staffer to give his life in the line of duty. Gabe was a passionate public servant, committed to non-violent solutions and consensus and was motivated to help people."

"James Madison Flake would be proud to know that Arizona has many women legislators, has had a number of women Governors, and that the first woman appointed to the Supreme Court, Sandra Day O’Connor, is a proud Arizonan. He would surely be proud to know of Gabby Giffords, daughter of Arizona and one of this Nation’s enduring symbols of hope, who served this Nation’s House of Representatives so ably."

"While it’s manufactured in Portland, Oregon—I say with some modest pride—it makes a difference for people around the country because it’s going to be provided to other communities like Tucson, Arizona, in the project I worked on with our former colleague, Gabby Giffords. And subcontracting is occurring throughout the upper Midwest, where smaller manufacturers are helping construct this product made in America."

"In addition, on the occasion of her resignation from the House of Representatives, I would also like to honor Congresswoman Giffords‘ service to our country and her constituents. I had the honor of sitting next to Congresswoman Giffords on the House Armed Services Committee. Her dedication to our troops and to her constituents will be missed."
