WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Laura and I are saddened by
the death of Representative Julia Carson. Throughout her decade of service in
the U.S. House of Representatives and her nearly 20 years in the Indiana
General Assembly, Representative Carson served her constituents in
Indianapolis with passion and commitment. She was revered as a champion for
building strong and safe communities, working to end homelessness, improving
financial literacy for all Americans, and helping her constituents achieve and
maintain the dream of home ownership. Julia was a dedicated and admired public
servant who will be missed by her many friends and colleagues both at home in
Indiana and in our Nation's capital. Our thoughts and prayers are with her
family and friends.
