I knew the face, but not the name. She is a Hillary supporter, too bad she didn't make it to the convention.

EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio — U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, one of Hillary Clinton's biggest supporters during the primaries, remained unconscious Wednesday in a Cleveland area hospital after being transported there Tuesday night.
Tubbs Jones' car veered off the side of the road Tuesday night. Police found her unconscious behind the wheel.
According to a police report, an officer was driving behind Tubbs Jones' car at about 9 p.m.ET and observed her weaving.
After a couple of turns, the officer turned on his lights to stop the congresswoman. When she pulled to the side, her car then started to roll across the lanes of oncoming traffic. The officer then pulled his cruiser in front of her car to block it from oncoming traffic, the report said.
When the officer walked up to her sedan, he noticed she was in "medical distress" and called for an ambulance.
The 58-year-old Tubbs Jones became the first black woman to represent Ohio in Congress when she was elected in 1998. She is serving her fifth term in Congress.
Tubbs Jones is the chairwoman of the House Ethics Committee. That panel is currently probing the DUI arrest and potential abuse of taxpayer funds by Republican Rep. Vito Fossella.
Tubbs Jones is set to be a superdelegate at next week's Democratic National Convention in Denver.

Prayers up......
I knew the face, but not the name. She is a Hillary supporter, too bad she didn't make it to the convention.
First Boxer goes down, now Jones. Is BOH pulling a gotcha on SWMNBN?
Prayers for her and her loved ones.....
This article had more current information so I posted it. If she is still unconscious it must be something pretty serious.
Hopefully, she’ll have a full and speedy recovery.
Boxer???? I thought it was Diane Feinstein who broke her ankle not going to Denver.
Prayers for her and her family.
Reports are saying she had an aneurysm.
Couldn’t disagree with more with her politics, but prayers for her recovery.
Do you mean Feinstein?
Praying for a speedy recovery.
I am sorry to hear this. She is a typical Ohio leftist, but I would rather see her voted out of office than to hit with this awful problem.
My prayers are with her.
Me bad. The only defense is how can you tell the two apart, besides the temper?
In the (paraphrased) words of Joe Biden, all you Libs look alike to me.
terrible terrible illness- so sad for her and her family
“First Boxer goes down...”
Can you PLEASE rephrase that?! :-O!
