Leader Russo Honors the Life of Former State Representative Brigid Kelly of Cincinnati

COLUMBUS – House Minority Leader Allison Russo (D-Upper Arlington) today released a statement honoring the life of former state Rep. Brigid Kelly of Cincinnati, Ohio who passed away Tuesday evening surrounded by her loved ones.

“Rep. Brigid Kelly was one of the best lawmakers I have had the honor to serve with in the Ohio General Assembly. Her kind, principled servant leadership embodied the best of politics and all that we as public servants aspire to be. 

Brigid's leadership on issues, from paid family leave to better wages and stronger communities, improved the lives of working Ohio families and charted a course for the next generation of Democratic leadership in our state.

Brigid genuinely cared about and connected with her constituents in every role she had. I am heartbroken for our collective loss and share my deepest sympathies with her husband Steve, her family, and all who were fortunate to know one of the strongest, most passionate, and most effective public servants in our state– Brigid Kelly,” said Leader Russo.
