I had to look up party affiliation. She’s the third democrat to die in the last 10 days.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Three down 30 millions more to go.

I’m 66 with stage four cancer. Stories like this scare the hell out of me.

Wow... so young.

Liddy Dole may have lost the senate race to her, but at 83 Liddy Dole is still going strong.

Must have something to do with Bob Dole doing the Viagra commercials...

A local newspaper reports that she died after a three-year battle with encephalitis caused by Powassan virus, a tick-borne disease that frequently causes severe illness with a ten percent mortality rate.

Sad story regardless of Party Affiliation. Check out the net worth.

Hagan's widower, Chip, is a transaction lawyer. The Hagans had three children: Jeanette, Tilden, and Carrie.[76] Kay Hagan had a 2012 net worth of approximately $24 million.

After the end of her U.S. Senate term, Hagan became a resident fellow at the Harvard Institute of Politics.

While in Washington, D.C. in December 2016, Hagan became ill with a type of encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and was admitted to a hospital. Hagan was diagnosed with Powassan virus. In a 2019 article, Hagan's husband reported that "Kay’s ability to speak is limited, but her comprehension is very good. She can speak, but it's slow and labored."

She died on October 28, 2019, from complications of Powassan virus. She was 66 years old.

Don’t like that “unexpectedly” dying.

The Hagan/Tillis race was probably one of the best examples of odd election dynamics under Obama.

Tillis has been nearly as bad as Romney, Ryan, Alexander, Portman and many other GOP squishes. But, of course, he ran as a conservative and was certainly portrayed that way by his opponents (including the media).

Hagan had the Obama albatross to deal with. Despite agreeing with him on nearly every policy, she knew or had already seen that he was campaign trail poison despite the fawning press and bused-in crowds. And so, Obama visited NC multiple times to ‘help’ and Hagan magically found a reason each time to be not just out of the city in question but out of the state entirely.

It was hilarious slapstick - it should have been a sped-up film a la Benny Hill or Warner Bros but of course the humorless media didn’t report it that way.

Hmmm...

Is guilt finally taking it’s toll?

[TribalPrincess2U]

Isn’t she the one that could have taken cummings seat?

If you can’t say anything good about a dead person, say nothing.

I say, “Good.”

Being a dumblecrat shortens your life.

Yikes! I just noticed in another article. Her birthday is my birthday. May 26, 1953. Kinda creepy.
