Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones Dead at 58.



Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones died Wednesday after suffering a brain aneurysm.
She was a strong supporter of Hillary Clinton and one of the few in Congress to oppose the 2003 invasion of Iraq. From Wikipedia- "She was a Democratic politician and member of the United States House of Representatives. She represented the 11th District of Ohio, which encompasses most of downtown and eastern Cleveland and many of the eastern suburbs in Cuyahoga County, including Euclid, Cleveland Heights, and Shaker Heights. She was the first African American woman to be elected to Congress from Ohio."
She was chair of the House Ethics Committee and served on the Ways & Means Committee as well.
