Representative Stephanie Tubb Jones died this evening as a result of an aneurysm. She was 58.
Tubb Jones was the first black woman to represent Ohio in Congress. She was a fierce Democrat and staunchly against the Iraq war. She was an incredibly strong woman who made it one of her missions to secure rights for everyone.
She will be much missed in the world of politics, and as a person.
Our thoughts are with her family in this time of grief.
