Warning: I am very emotional. Before we proceed with our meeting, I want to take a moment and say that Mr. McGovern and his family remain in our prayers.

For people who often tune in to the Rules Committee, it can seem like there is a lot of conflict between our two sides. And that’s certainly true.

BOONE, N.C. – Today, Rules Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx issued the following statement on the passing of Molly McGovern, daughter of Rules Committee Ranking Member Jim McGovern:
 
“The loss of a child, no matter the age, is one of the greatest heartbreaks imaginable. Ranking Member McGovern and his entire family remain in my thoughts and prayers. In this difficult time of loss, may they find continued comfort, peace, and strength from their faith and from those around them.”
