IDP Chair Rita Hart Issues Statement on Passing of State Senator Claire Celsi

DES MOINES – Today, Iowa Democratic Party Chair Rita Hart issued the following statement on the death of Iowa State Senator Claire Celsi:

“My thoughts are with Claire Celsi’s family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege to know her. She was a fierce advocate for public education, protecting Iowa workers, cleaning up our water, and improving Iowa’s mental health system. Claire always went the extra mile to make sure Iowans’ voices were heard by the legislature. Her hard work, dedication to public service, and compassion for others will be dearly missed.”
