Salaam John,
It's with heavy hearts that we share the news of Representative Gerry Connolly's (D-VA-11) passing after his battle with cancer. As the Ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee and representative for Virginia's 11th District, Representative Connolly was a principled leader who fought tirelessly for government accountability, civil liberties, and working families. Representative Connolly was someone who actually made government work better for people. Whether it was holding federal agencies accountable, protecting civil rights, or delivering for his Northern Virginia constituents, he brought both sharp policy knowledge and real decency to the job. |
