Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.), the top Democrat on the House Rules Committee, has died at age 88, her office announced Thursday.
“To have met Louise Slaughter is to have known a force of nature. She was a relentless advocate for Western New York whose visionary leadership brought infrastructure upgrades, technology and research investments, and two federal manufacturing institutes to Rochester that will transform the local economy for generations to come," Liam Fitzsimmons, chief of staff, said in a statement.
Slaughter had been hospitalized after suffering a concussion in her home, her office said earlier this week.

She had a district shaped like a hand barbell
The narrow went along Lake Ontario, and the two bulbous ends connected the inner city of Rochester with the inner city of Buffalo.
Literally, it was designed and gerrymandered to be a Democratic stronghold!
And.. it was extended into Fairport to include her reseidence.
I hated this witch, and still do. She was completely worthless, and I had zero representation in Congress for years.
Agreed !
But I will not speak ill will of the dead !
Be thankful that the West Virginia "carpetbagger" is no longer representing the district.
And look forward and direct support a 'congresscritter' who will represent your interests, ethics, and beliefs.
All the more reason to select a good candidate, not a compromise candidate or a RINO; volunteer, and do more than complain !
and just because the RNC proposes a candidate, offer direct support and get active on behalf of the best possible candidate.
I am reminded of Shakespear:
The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.
Good Riddance to her.
Re: Sister’s dentures, was she able to still taste the macaroons?
Favored the slaughter of unborn babies. No respect for her in her life’ , no condolences in death.
I’ll wager she will vote in the next election.

88 and still seated!!
Well so is DIFI from California in the Senate, and she is running for a fresh six year seat...by the way, old George Soros is also 88, not in Congress but supposedly still make decisions for our Nation...at least buying our Seats..
YES..WE DO NEED TERM LIMITS..
and I would assume John McCain is more than likely bed ridden at this point..it is just a matter of time and he too will be gone..
Definitely.
Great observation.
She was a leftist smacktard, and a detriment to these United States.
RIP.
