U.S. Senators Roger Marshall and Jerry Moran have introduced a resolution to honor the life of Sarah Milgrim, an Overland Park native, who was tragically murdered alongside her soon-to-be fiancé, Yaron Lischinsky. The incident occurred outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC on May 21, 2025.

Senator Marshall reflected on Milgrim's impact at just 26 years old, describing her as "a talented musician and chorus singer" who was "deeply devoted to her faith" and "selflessly committed to the well-being of others." He expressed hope that the resolution would serve as a tribute to her life and legacy.

Senator Moran addressed the nature of their deaths as a result of antisemitic violence. He stated, “The loss of Kansan Sarah Milgrim and her soon-to-be fiancé, Yaron Lischinsky, to a sickening act of antisemitic violence is a tragedy that should never have happened.” He called for an end to such violence and hatred while expressing solidarity with Kansans and the Jewish community in mourning.
