Ron Wright
Republican Texas congressman Ron Wright has become the first sitting congressman to die of Covid.
He was 67 years old, and was recovering from lung cancer.
He was anti-Biden on everything – from raising the minimum wage, Paris Accords, Keystone pipeline, you name it. He was strongly anti-choice and was a mainstream Republican.
Due to Covid, he closed his home office and had his staff work from home. He accepted that Joe Biden was president. His district around the Dallas area is strongly Republican and we could have done a lot worse than Ron.
I have to say that the few times I saw him on tv just in passing, he was wearing a mask, so I’m sad to see this happen.
