Warren Statement on the Passing of Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada

Washington, D.C. — Today, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) released the following statement on the passing of Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada:

“Harry Reid was the kind of fighter I love: a fighter who knows how to win. Harry never wavered in his commitment to do what's right — especially for the people of Nevada. He led the Senate with courage and conviction, fighting every day for a more just America. I will never forget the night in 2008 when he first asked me to come to Washington. After the big banks crashed the economy, Harry wanted me to help oversee the bank bailout. I figured out that when Harry calls, say yes.

"Harry was a good man. He gave me a chance to serve, and he supported me every step of the way. I will miss him.”
