"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."
