Congressman Sherman on the Passing of Congressman Donald Payne

Washington D.C. – Congressman Brad Sherman today mourned the passing of his friend and colleague, Rep. Donald Payne of New Jersey’s 10th District.

“I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our friend and colleague Donald Payne. He was a great champion of human rights both at home and abroad. He was a force for good in the world, who used his knowledge and expertise for positive change. He will be remembered as both a leader on education and an outspoken advocate to end global suffering, particularly for his work on HIV/AIDs in Africa.

We will miss his presence in Congress and our thoughts and prayers are with his family and those who loved him.”
