WASHINGTON – U.S. Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. (R-Ind.) issued the following statement regarding today’s tragic death of Representative Jackie Walorski and two members of her staff, Emma Thomson and Zachery Potts:                                         

“For almost a decade, Representative Jackie Walorski has served Indiana’s 2^nd Congressional District with strength, honor, and duty. Her steadfast commitment to her district was evident in all that she did – whether it was her time spent at local businesses, meeting with constituents, or legislating here in D.C. – she always stayed true to her Hoosier values, working to make the world a better place. She was a great friend to many of us in Congress and her untimely death is a tremendous loss for the House of Representatives, our state, and our nation. May God watch over her husband Dean, her family, her staff, and her friends in the days to come.”

“As Members of Congress, our staff are more than just employees – they are individuals who share a dedication to public service and who work tirelessly each and every day to help us fulfill our duties to our constituents and to make our nation a better place. My thoughts and prayers are also with the families, coworkers, and friends of Representative Walorski’s two staff members, Emma Thomson and Zachery Potts, who also lost their lives today.”
