Statement on the Passing of Liz Carpenter

“Liz was a close friend and a pioneer. She helped blaze a trail for women and she wrote the words that began to heal the nation on one of our darkest days. Her sense of humor and sharp wit were a true gift. While Liz was the spirit of Democrats in Texas and beyond her friendships and warmth crossed party lines. Linda and I will miss her dearly and our prayers are with her family.”
