Becerra Statement on the Passing of Senator Edward M. Kennedy

“Last night, the Kennedys lost a beloved member of the family and our country lost a great American hero with the passing of Senator Edward M. Kennedy.

“If you look at almost any major piece of legislation that helps children, seniors, immigrants, minorities, the disabled, the disadvantaged, you will find Senator Kennedy's mark on it. His lifetime fight for those who could not speak for themselves inspired me and many in my generation to enter public service and work for change.

“His vision of America was one of justice, freedom and equality and he worked every day of his life for it, never losing faith in what we could achieve if we worked together.

“The best way to honor his legacy is to continue the fight for his dream. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, his children and the entire Kennedy family.”
