Congressman Patrick McHenry (NC-10) released the following statement on the passing of Congressman Walter Jones (NC-03):

“Giulia and I were saddened to learn of the passing of Congressman Walter Jones. He dedicated his life to our shared home state, beginning with his service in the North Carolina National Guard. He will be missed by the people of the Third District of North Carolina, whom—like his father before him—he faithfully represented for over twenty years. When thinking of Walter, I will always remember his faithful response when I’d ask how he was doing: ‘everyday is a gift.’ Giulia and I offer our sincerest condolences to Congressman Jones’ family, friends, and staff as they grieve.”
