Pelosi Statement on the Death of Former Senator Daniel Brewster of Maryland
'Daniel Brewster was a dedicated public servant in every sense of the word. He served his country during War World II and was recognized by a grateful nation for his sacrifices and heroism. He served his state of Maryland in the House of Delegates. He served his state and his country in the U.S. House of Representatives and in the United States Senate, and he served his community through volunteerism and activism.
'Daniel Brewster's legacy can be found in his commitment to civil rights, his ability to find strength through adversity, and his devotion to the state of Maryland and its people.
'It was a great source of pride to me that my first job on Capitol Hill was in the office of the newly elected Senator Brewster. It is an even greater source of pride that until the end of his life, Daniel Brewster was my friend.
'I hope it is a comfort to the many people who loved Senator Brewster that so many people share their loss and are praying for them at this sad time.'
