Zebadee Bridges, Sr.:\n\u201cI was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Rev. Zebadee Bridges, Sr. During his forty-five years of service as the pastor of The Asia Baptist Church and as a member of the Mayor\u2019s Human Relations Committee, Reverend Bridges was a courageous leader and fierce advocate for all that was just and right. He was a man with a big heart for service to his God, his church, and his community.\u00a0 My thoughts and prayers are with Reverend Bridges\u2019 family, his former parishioners and the many New Orleanians who were touched by his commitment to the advancement of this great city and its most vulnerable residents. Reverend Bridges will continue to be revered as a leader in our community. \u00a0He will be sorely missed.\u201d", 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": ["http://richmond.house.gov/press-release/rep-richmond-mourns-passing-rev-zebadee-bridges-sr"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.025924924761057, "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"}
