New Dems Mourn the Loss of Rep. Donald McEachin

Today, New Democrat Coalition (NDC) Chair Suzan DelBene (WA-01) released the following statement on the tragic passing of New Dem Rep. Donald McEachin (VA-04):

“New Dems are devastated to learn about the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Rep. Donald McEachin.

“As we mourn the loss of our fellow New Dem, we remember the incredible impact he had on this Congress, his community, and our country. Don was a fierce advocate for Virginia with an unparalleled passion for protecting our planet.

“During his time in Congress and as a Virginia state legislator, he worked tirelessly to advance legislation to fight climate change and transition to a clean energy economy. While serving on the New Dem Climate Change Task Force, the Energy and Commerce Committee, the Natural Resources Committee, and the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis, he worked to ensure our nation would be a better place for the next generation of Americans. There’s no doubt it will be, thanks to his efforts. 

“New Dems are thinking about and praying for the entire McEachin family and his staff during this heartbreaking time.”
