Report: Rep. Tubbs Jones On Life Support

Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, D-Ohio, is reported to have suffered an aneurysm and is not expected to recover, according to CBS affiliate WOIO in Cleveland.

WOIO also reported that the congresswoman is on life support at this time.

The station reported today that she was transported overnight to Huron Hospital in Cleveland after police found her in her car last evening.

The congresswoman's office said in statement that she suffered the aneurysm while driving her car in Cleveland Heights, Ohio last night and that she "has stabilized and she is receiving the best care available."

The congresswoman's office would not confirm that she is on life support.

Tubbs Jones was first elected in 1998, becoming the first black woman to represent Ohio in Congress. She represents Ohio's 11th district.

I like to think this is one of those times when the person's politics aren't relevant.

Too late, GM, too late. She's dead.

RIP.

Not to be an asshole or anything, but how will the vacancy be filled under Ohio law?

Hold up, where is everyone getting she died?  I saw it on Wikipedia, but CNN, Fox, MSNBC, Drudge, etc. make no mention and Politico posted an article ten minutes ago that she is alive but on life support

I think it may be close enough to the GE for there to be no special election, or at least simultaneous ones to fill out Nov-Jan and for the actual election. Not that the partisan outcome would be in any doubt. D+33.

Wikipedia has been going through an edit battle back and forth on whether or not she is alive or not.

I have seen no confirmation that she is dead.

Hey guys

I'm listening to Rush on WTAM 1100 AM Cleveland, and the local news update said updates should be coming...but she is still alive.
