MATSUI STATEMENT ON THE PASSING OF BILL CAMP

WASHINGTON, D.C.- Today, Congresswoman Doris Matsui (CA-07) released the following statement after the passing of Bill Camp, Sacramento community leader and former Executive Secretary of the Sacramento Central Labor Council.

"We have lost a powerful force for good with the passing of my dear friend Bill Camp," said Congresswoman Matsui. "Everywhere he went, Bill sought to improve the lives of his neighbors, stand up for justice, and uplift the underserved and overlooked. Through his tireless efforts, he made sure that workers' voices were heard and heeded. That working families received the resources and dignity they deserve. Although most will remember him for his many great accomplishments, I will remember him best for his years of friendship and his kind, compassionate heart. My prayers are with all of Bill's loved ones during this difficult time - he will be greatly missed."
