Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Suhas Subramanyam released a statement on the devastating crash at DCA.

“Today our community mourns this terrible tragedy that took the lives of 67 individuals and their families, some of whom were a part of our community” said Congressman Suhas Subramanyam. “While we let the investigation run its course and figure out how to prevent tragedies like this in the future, I am keeping the victims and their families in my deepest thoughts and prayers. Our office remains available to anyone affected, and I am particularly grateful to our first responders, including those from Fairfax and Prince William counties, who rushed immediately to the scene.

“While we are still awaiting names of all the victims, I have been made aware that among them was an ice skating instructor as well as former students from Loudoun County Public Schools and residents of my district. I join our community in grieving for them during this incredibly difficult time.”

A former Policy Advisor to President Barack Obama, Congressman Subramanyam served in the Virginia General Assembly since first getting elected in 2019.

He will continue to deliver real, bipartisan, results in Congress. Subramanyam served as a volunteer firefighter and EMT in Loudoun. He lives in Ashburn, Virginia, with his wife, Miranda, and their two daughters, Maya (4) and Nina (3).
