NJDC Mourns the Loss of Senator Daniel Inouye

WASHINGTON, DC- National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) Chair Marc R. Stanley and NJDC President and CEO David A. Harris issued the following statement in response to the passing of Senator Daniel Inouye (D-HI):

“On behalf of NJDC, we extend our condolences to Senator Inouye’s family and the people of Hawaii. The Senator leaves behind a distinguished record of heroism and service to our country that has inspired members of younger generations to enter public service. Senator Inouye was one of the strongest pro-Israel voices on Capitol Hill, and his leadership within the Senate Appropriations Committee’s subcommittees resulted in significant increases in aid for Israel. He was a true mensch in every sense of the word, and we are deeply saddened that he is no longer with us.”
