WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today after learning of the passing of former First Lady Nancy Reagan:
"Nancy Reagan was truly an inspirational figure. She was devoted to President Reagan, to their family, and to our country, and through her advocacy on behalf of those suffering from Alzheimer's she made millions of American families her own. A crusader against drug abuse and an advocate for breast cancer awareness, Mrs. Reagan was also a deeply influential figure in American politics and in her husband's Administration. All who had the privilege of knowing her will remember her kindness and her warm spirit, her energy and her determination. I join in mourning her passing and offer my condolences to the entire Reagan family."
