Hillary Clinton Statement on the Passing of Rep. Mark Takai
Hillary Clinton released the following statement after learning about the passing of Congressman Mark Takai:
“The
loss of Congressman Mark Takai will be felt keenly from Washington to
Honolulu. Mark was everything a public servant should be. He spent his
entire life in service of his state and his country–from the Hawaii Army
National Guard to the Hawaii State House to the House of
Representatives–fighting to make sure veterans and their families are
supported, supporting ambitious steps to protect his state and our
planet from the perils of climate change, and championing the rights of
Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Native Hawaiian communities. I am
grateful to Mark for his friendship and deeply honored to have earned
his support. My thoughts and prayers are with Mark’s family and friends,
and especially with his wife Sami and his children Matthew and Kaila.”
