Senator Ron Johnson, a Republican from Wisconsin who has served in the U.S. Senate since 2011, posted a series of messages on his social media account reflecting on recent events and commemorating the anniversary of September 11.

On September 10, 2025, Johnson asked for support for an individual named Charlie and those close to him. "Please say a prayer for Charlie, his family, and his team." Later that same day, he shared another brief message: "Rest in peace."

The following day, on September 11, Johnson addressed the memory of the terrorist attacks that occurred twenty-four years prior. He wrote: "As we remember the tragic events of 24 years ago on 9/11 that forever changed our nation and the world, we renew our pledge to never forget and continue to honor the victims and their families. Six years ago, I held a Homeland Security field hearing at the 9/11 Museum in New"

Senator Johnson has been elected three times to represent Wisconsin in the U.S. Senate. He won his first election in 2010 against Russ Feingold with just under 52% of the vote. In subsequent elections, he defeated Feingold again in 2016 with about 50% of votes cast and was re-elected over Mandela Barnes in 2022 by a narrow margin.
