Oakland, CA – Today, Congresswoman Lee released the following statement in response to the passing of former California Rep. Ellen Tauscher:

“I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Rep. Ellen Tauscher.

She was a passionate, principled public servant, and I always admired her incredible dedication to her constituents, California, and the nation.
