Local D.C. Lawmakers 11:05 pm
After a frightening day on Capitol hill, lawmakers finished the electoral college certification early Thursday morning, but it didn’t come without heated debate.
Lawmakers resumed the electoral college certification Wednesday night after an attack on the capitol building Wednesday afternoon.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, Pennsylvania Republican Representative Fred Keller was not in the house chamber when the violence broke out, but he was still in the building.
“When we were made aware of what was happening they got us all to a secure part of the building and we just sort of waited it out,” Keller said. “It was a very, very sad day to see what happened.”
