Statement: Death of President Ford

Gerald Ford brought Americans together during a difficult chapter in our history with strength, integrity, and humility. All Americans should be grateful for his life of service; he served our nation well. To his great credit, he was the same hard-working, down-to-earth person the day he left the White House as he was when he first entered Congress almost 30 years earlier.

We were honored to know President Ford. We are saddened by his death, and our prayers are with Betty and the entire Ford family.
