U.S. Rep. Karen Bass Statement on Passing of Former California State Senator Teresa Hughes

Washington, DC – “I am saddened to learn about the passing of former California Sen. Teresa Hughes, who I admired during her time in office and when I was elected to serve in the California State Assembly’s 47th District as she once did,” said U.S. Representative Karen Bass.

“Sen. Hughes was committed to improving the quality of life for Los Angeles residents during her time in office and was instrumental in collaborating with Community Coalition to decrease the number of liquor stores in South Los Angeles. As I join other Angelenos in celebrating the life of former Sen. Hughes, we will remember her as an inspirational and dedicated leader for Los Angeles.”
