From Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland:
Columbus, Ohio – Governor Ted Strickland today issued the following statement on the loss of US Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones:
“Frances and I are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Congresswomen . We served together in the Congress, where I witnessed her passionate and selfless commitment to her constituents. I am grateful for the opportunity to have called Stephanie my colleague, and I am proud to have called her my friend. Our friendship deepened during the long primary season as we worked together for Senator Clinton. Stephanie was a strong, courageous and compassionate advocate for the poor and vulnerable. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and the people of Ohio’s 11th Congressional District during this difficult time.”

CNN has back tracked on the death. I’ve always admired - from quite a distance - Rep Tubbs for her willingness to stand up for what she thought and to fight for it.
Ohio has been well served.
That statement was retracted in light of recent events.
Thanks David - strange days indeed.
Announcement of a vigil.
