SACRAMENTO – California Attorney General Xavier Becerra today issued the following statement on the death of Congresswoman Louise Slaughter of New York:

“Louise Slaughter was an inspiration: a principled leader who understood and defended the values of hardworking people like my parents. She was always gracious and fiercely devoted to advancing the best traits of our democracy. Louise was also a champion of the first order for women’s rights. She stood up for people who lacked a voice and was a true friend whom I will dearly miss.”
