PLASKETT EXPRESSES HER CONDOLENCES ON THE PASSING OF EDGAR ILES\n\nWASHINGTON, DC\u2014Congresswoman Stacey E. Plaskett released the following statement expressing her condolences to the family and friends of Edgar Iles:\n\n\u201cSt. Croix, particularly the Frederiksted community, has suffered a great loss in the passing of Edgar Iles. A faithful Rotarian, having served as a President of Rotary West and former 2 term member of the Virgin Islands legislature, he truly lived out the motto, \u201cService above Self\u201d with his life. Mr. Iles was also an active member of the American Legion, having served our country in the U.S. military during the Korean War. In the words of one of his sons, he was a true statesman, community-oriented. He also took the helm of the Crucian Christmas Festival, sharing his love of and high regard of Crucian culture. Most importantly, Mr. Iles was a devoted father, grandfather, husband and friend.\n\n\u201cI give the condolences of myself, family and staff to Mr. Iles\u2019 wife Dolores, his beloved children\u20145 sons and 3 daughters\u2014and grandchildren, along with his extended family and friends who mourn his passing. May God\u2019s peace comfort your hearts during this time.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:17:01Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://plaskett.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=3934"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8791591972112656, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
