Rep. Diana DeGette statement on the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) released the following statement on the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg:

"Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a hero. Her dedication to advancing women's rights and equality for all was unrivaled, and her presence on the highest court in our land will be deeply missed.

"The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Mitch McConnell and the Republican-led Senate must wait until the next administration is sworn into office, whoever that may be, before considering a nominee to replace her."
