Statement from Mathematica CEO Paul Decker on Violence at the U.S. Capitol

Yesterday, we watched in horror as violent insurgents breached our nation’s capitol, threatening not only the safety of our public servants, but also the will of the American people, the tenets of the U.S. Constitution, and the health of our democracy. Today, we remain determined to help pick up the pieces, look unflinchingly at the root causes, and work to move our country ever closer to the more perfect union in which we hold faith. As a company with deep roots in Washington D.C., today we are shaken, angry, and yet determined. Our mission to improve public well-being places racial justice, human rights, and a deep commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion at the core of our work. We wish for peace and safety for our clients, partners, colleagues, friends, and fellow citizens, as we work to make progress together.
