Here is a statement released by Congressman Jerry McNerney on the passing of Senator John McCain:
Today America lost a true patriot and statesman. John McCain was a man of principle and character. He dedicated his life in service to our nation, often putting country before party. He was a man of integrity who stood up for the values of our nation, always reminding us that we are a part of something bigger than ourselves. My thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.
In a statement released by the Office of Senator John McCain:
Senator John Sidney McCain III died at 4:28pm on August 25, 2018. With the Senator when he passed were his wife Cindy and their family. At his death, he had served the United States of America faithfully for sixty years
