Thread Name: Obit: Ohio Congress member Stephanie Tubbs Jones
Subject: BS: Ohio Congress member critical
We know many members of Congress by name and hear about some all the time. Others are not well known...
(August 20,2008) "U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones of Ohio is in critical condition and has limited brainfunction following a hemorrhage, a doctor said Wednesday.
Tubbs Jones, the first black woman to represent Ohio in Congress, collapsed while driving her car Tuesday.
Dr. Gus Kious said the 58-year-old Tubbs Jones suffered a brain hemorrhage in an inaccessible part of her brain and that a team of doctors who evaluated her determined she has limited brain function.
At a news conference, family friend Joe Hewitt asked people to pray for the congresswoman."
