Statement on the Passing of Former First Lady Barbara Bush

Washington, D.C. – Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson issued the following statement:

“Kathy and I send our love and prayers to the Bush family. Barbara Bush was a leader, a grandmother, a mother, a wife, and one of the most important figures in modern American history. Her strong presence inspired a family of public servants, and her own service to this country will live on through her legacy of advancing family literacy. She was a role model for all Americans and will be greatly missed.”
