Richmond (LA-02) issued the following statement after Baton Rouge State Rep. Ronnie Edwards passed away, ending an over two-year battle with pancreatic cancer:\n\u201cRonnie was a talented and compassionate legislator, but more importantly she was a friend,\u201d said Rep. Richmond. \u201cThe news of her passing is not only devastating to me it is a tremendous loss for the entire state. She committed her life to serving her constituents and fighting for those who needed it the most.\nAs we mourn her loss we must honor her legacy by renewing our commitment to the work she fought so hard to complete. Louisiana has lost a lion tonight but her memory will live on forever.\nMy deepest condolences are with her family as they go through this difficult time.\u201d\n\u00a0\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://richmond.house.gov/press-releases/rep-richmond-statement-passing-rep-ronnie-edwards"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.8697748892009258, "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"}
