Statement of Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling on the passing of Jo Ann Davis....
Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling today issued the following statement on the passing of Congresswoman Jo Ann Davis.
“I was very saddened to learn this morning that my good friend, Congresswoman Jo Ann Davis had passed away. Jo Ann fought a valiant fight against cancer and held on to her optimism and hope until the very end. The manner in which she handled a very difficult situation was an inspiration to us all.
“I had the privilege of working with Jo Ann during her tenure in the Virginia House of Delegates and during her tenure in the United States Congress. She was a dependable conservative voice on the challenges of our time, but I believe that her greatest contribution was the devoted manner in which she attended to the affairs of her district and the constituents she served. She was a good and decent person.
“My thoughts and prayers are with Jo Ann’s husband Chuck and their sons. I know this will be a difficult time for them. I pray that God will comfort them in their hour of need, and assure them that those we love are never truly gone as long as we keep their memory alive in our hearts.”

Statement of Bob McDonnell on the passing of Jo Ann Davis...
Attorney General Bob McDonnell issued the following statement today regarding the passing of Congresswoman Jo Ann Davis.
“The entire Commonwealth collectively mourns the passing of Congresswoman Jo Ann Davis. She was an inspirational figure, especially over the past two years as she waged her battle against breast cancer.”
“I was honored to serve with Jo Ann in the Virginia House of Delegates. Her service benefited every resident of her district. When her career took her to Washington, the entire Commonwealth, and the country, benefited. She was a leader of integrity, common sense, and decency. She was a fervent advocate of the 1st District, and Virginia. Congresswoman Davis was also a tireless and passionate advocate for the United States military and its veterans, working to ensure that they are always supported in times of both war and peace. In a city where so many seek the bright lights of national publicity over the hard work of effective governing, Jo Ann always focused on the latter. She was the kind of representative our forefathers had in mind when they created our government.”
“Jo Ann was a true patriot. She was honored to serve and never forgot why she did. I will never forget at her first campaign event for delegate she was in tears as she recounted her love of Virginia and America. Jo Ann Davis believed in what she did with every ounce of her being.”
“Now, Jo Ann Davis has passed on. With the news of her passing we grieve, and we hurt. We pray for her husband, Chuck, and their children. This is a sad day for Virginia.”
