Prominent officials reacted to the sudden death of Prince George's state Sen. Gwendolyn Britt this morning.
Senate President Mike Miller called it "a tremendous loss not only to her family, but to our family in the State Senate, her constituents in Prince George's County, and to the state of Maryland."
"Her dedication to public service, and leadership on issues such as education, health care, and civil rights was unmatched, and her reputation as a consensus-builder will be sorely missed," he said. "She always had a kind word for everyone and a beautiful smile on her face."
"It seems we are losing far too many of our important and treasured civil rights leaders in recent years" Maryland Democratic Party Chair Michael Cryor said. "And we are greatly sadden to lose yet another."
