Representative Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District announced that she will leave her guest chair open at tomorrow night’s State of the Union address to honor the victims and survivors of the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history, which took place in Las Vegas on October 1, 2017:

“Over a year has passed since the deadliest shooting in modern American history, and Republicans in Congress have refused take action to reduce gun violence,” said Congresswoman Titus (NV-1). “Now that Democrats control the House, we will pass laws that expand background checks and ban bump stocks. I hope President Trump notices this empty seat and recognizes the deadly consequences of inaction. This seat is for the 58 souls who did not make it home that night, the hundreds who were injured, and the entire Las Vegas community who responded with love and showed the world that our city will always be strong.”
