Washington, DC – Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement on the death of Lady Bird Johnson:
“I'm deeply saddened by the passing of a great woman, Lady Bird Johnson,” Dean said. “With a calm demeanor and steady presence, Johnson was a source of strength, serving as first lady during a difficult period in our nation’s history. A champion of Democratic ideals, she advocated for Head Start and fought tirelessly to preserve America’s natural beauty, leading many to call her one of our country's first environmentalists. Johnson will be sorely missed, but her legacy will live on. Our thoughts and prayers are with Johnson’s family and friends.”
