SEIU Secretary-Treasurer Anna Burger Statement
On the Passing of Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones
"America lost a true stateswoman yesterday and SEIU members and working families in Cleveland lost a dear friend."There was nobody more committed to improving the lives of working people than Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones.
"Nobody more committed to winning healthcare for all. Nobody more committed to ensuring every family can achieve the American Dream. And nobody more committed to ending a war that had taken the lives of too many sons and daughters in her district.
"While her desk sits empty today, her passion and legacy will continue to guide us to win a better life for all families and ensure America's best days are still ahead.
"SEIU members are saddened by the tragic and sudden loss of our friend and our deepest sympathies go out to Rep. Tubbs Jones' family.""
