Statement from Chairman Ed Cox on
the Passing of Former First Lady Nancy Reagan

“On behalf of the New York Republican Party, Tricia and I mourn the loss of Nancy Reagan and offer our condolences to the entire Reagan family. She is a Brooklyn native, and like her mother, started her acting career here in New York City before moving to Hollywood.

“Beloved by an entire nation, Nancy was a true First Lady for America. Her mutual bond of love and devotion with Ronald Reagan made her a uniquely effective and influential First Lady who helped President Reagan secure his place in our history books as one of America’s greatest leaders.

“We grieve her loss but can take comfort knowing she is reunited with her Ronnie. Their relationship had a positive impact on the nation, and the world–one which we will forever celebrate.”
