Rubio Statement on Passing of Janet Reno

Nov 7, 2016 | Press Releases

Miami, FL – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement regarding the passing of former U.S. Attorney General and Dade County State Attorney Janet Reno:

“Before she was U.S. attorney general and a candidate for Florida governor, Janet Reno served as state attorney in Miami during one of the most tumultuous and uncertain decades in our state’s history. Janet Reno dedicated her life to the law and to public service on behalf of Florida and the nation.

“For the last two decades, including several years as U.S. attorney general, Janet Reno courageously showed the world that being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease is not an ending, but a beginning of the opportunity to prove one can live a long, consequential and even strenuous life just the way she did. My thoughts and prayers are with Janet Reno’s family, friends and former colleagues as they mourn her loss.”‎
