"I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of my close friend and esteemed colleague the Hon. Stephanie Tubbs Jones. I offer my prayers and well wishes to her family and the people she so diligently represented in Ohio.

Rep. Tubbs Jones will always have a special place in my heart. As a Member-elect, Stephanie reached out to me and has served as a mentor, guiding me through my first 19 months as a Member of the House.
