Dean On Tubbs Jones
DNC Chairman Howard Dean on Stephanie Tubbs Jones:
"We are greatly saddened about the passing of Congresswoman Tubbs Jones. Stephanie was a true American hero and inspiring leader, having spent a lifetime breaking barriers and standing up for her values. Just last week I was honored to have Stephanie join me on the campaign trail in Ohio where, as always, her infectious energy, enthusiasm and passion uplifted the crowd. Her voice will be greatly missed.
"This is a great loss for our Party and our nation. On behalf of the Democratic Party, we extend our thoughts and prayers to Congresswoman Tubbs Jones' friends and family during this difficult time."
She will be greatly missed for her passiion, committment and loyalty. A true voice for the American people, both high and low. A champion for the underdogs and a voice that was not afraid to speak up to power. Another heroic voice silenced too soon. She was tireless, I know she will be working just as hard on the other side for truth and justice.
