Washington D.C. - Congressman Cory Mills from Florida's 7th District has reached out to congressional leaders, advocating for the U.S. Capitol flags to be raised to full-staff on January 20, 2025. This request is made in honor of the upcoming 60th Presidential Inauguration.

Mills emphasized the importance of this gesture, stating, "The U.S. flags over the nation’s Capitol should be raised to full-staff during the inauguration ceremony on the morning of January 20, 2025, to honor the occasion." He highlighted that this event not only celebrates the choice of American citizens but also symbolizes democratic strength and a peaceful transition of power.

He further noted that it is crucial for leadership to ensure that "the U.S. flags reflect the significance of this day and the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump."

This initiative comes while respecting a traditional mourning period for former President Jimmy Carter.
