Axne Statement on the Passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Tonight, Rep. Cindy Axne (IA-03) issued the following statement on the passing of Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Ruth Bader Ginsburg:

“Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a champion of progress and women’s rights unlike any other in the history of this nation. Known to so many as simply RBG, her advocacy made her the icon that she is today.

From the earliest days of her legal career to her twenty-seven year term as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Ginsburg was a tireless fighter for equality and equal protection under the law – and she will be sorely missed.

I am deeply saddened that our country moves forward now without her voice, but I know that we will carry the spirit of her work with us and continue her work toward a more just and fair nation for all."
