Beyer Statement on Passing of Congresswoman Louise Slaughter
Washington,
March 16, 2018
“Congresswoman Louise Slaughter was a tireless champion for Democratic values and western New Yorkers for over 30 years. As the first woman to be elected to Congress from western New York and only microbiologist in the legislative branch, Congresswoman Slaughter was truly a trailblazer. I am proud to have called Congresswoman Slaughter my friend, and I am proud to have served in the United States Congress with such a committed and devoted advocate. Her leadership, expertise, and strength will be deeply missed. “Congresswoman Slaughter, her family, and her loved ones will be in our hearts during this difficult time.” |
