WASHINGTON, D. C. - The U.S. House of Representatives on Friday adopted a resolution honoring conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed Sept. 10 at Utah Valley University, with three Ohio Democrats opposing the measure.

Reps. Shontel Brown of Warrensville Heights, Emilia Sykes of Akron and Joyce Beatty of Columbus were among the 58 Democrats who voted against the resolution. The rest of Ohio’s Congress members supported it.

The resolution, introduced by House Speaker Mike Johnson, described Kirk as “a courageous American patriot” who “personified the values of the First Amendment” and engaged in “respectful, civil discourse.” It condemned “in the strongest possible terms the assassination of Charles ‘Charlie’ James Kirk, and all forms of political violence.”
