"As nourishing as this job has been, it has come with profound costs to my family. Every theatrical performance and musical recital I missed. Every family dinner that I wasn’t there for," Rep. Kilmer continued, "the distance I felt from my family for months after the events of January 6th... I am conscious that I didn’t always deliver in the way I wanted, and I hope they will forgive me for that." 
The statement chronologically summarizes the series of weekly letters he wrote to his kids about his work in Congress every he boarded the plane to Washington D.C.
