AG's Statement on the Passing of Congresswoman Jo Ann Davis
I have been out and about for most all of today and didn't her the news till I checked my email and found this statement from Attorney General Bob McDonnell on the passing of Congresswoman Jo Ann Davis:
I would like to offer my condolences to the friends, family, and co-workers of Congresswoman Davis. No matter what side of the public policy battles we find ourselves, some things transcend politics. I wish ill-health on no one. May the family of Congresswoman Davis be comforted by the care and love of our Lord at this, their time of need.
Whether we agreed with all of her postitions or not, she did live and fight as she believed, at that is more than some people will do in a lifetime. Take a bow Congresswoman, and may I see you again under the rule of our Lord, when "goodbye" is used no more. --Amen.
Statement of Attorney General Bob McDonnell on Passing of Congresswoman Jo Ann Davis
Richmond- Attorney General Bob McDonnell issued the following statement today regarding the passing of Congresswoman Jo Ann Davis.
“The entire Commonwealth collectively mourns the passing of Congresswoman Jo Ann Davis. She was an inspirational figure, especially over the past two years as she waged her battle against breast cancer.”
“I was honored to serve with Jo Ann in the Virginia House of Delegates. Her service benefited every resident of her district. When her career took her to Washington, the entire Commonwealth, and the country, benefited. She was a leader of integrity, common sense, and decency. She was a fervent advocate of the 1st District, and Virginia. Congresswoman Davis was also a tireless and passionate advocate for the United States military and its veterans, working to ensure that they are always supported in times of both war and peace. In a city where so many seek the bright lights of national publicity over the hard work of effective governing, Jo Ann always focused on the latter. She was the kind of representative our forefathers had in mind when they created our government.”
“Jo Ann was a true patriot. She was honored to serve and never forgot why she did. I will never forget at her first campaign event for delegate she was in tears as she recounted her love of Virginia and America. Jo Ann Davis believed in what she did with every ounce of her being.”
“Now, Jo Ann Davis has passed on. With the news of her passing we grieve, and we hurt. We pray for her husband, Chuck, and their children. This is a sad day for Virginia.”
