Washington, D.C.— Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today released the following statement on the death of former First Lady Nancy Reagan:

“On behalf of all Arkansans, my deepest sympathies go out to the Reagan family. Nancy Reagan was the epitome of a First Lady—a portrait of grace, compassion, and patriotism. During her time in the White House, she led a tireless campaign against drug abuse and addiction and helped shine a spotlight on these important issues. Above all else, she was deeply devoted to her husband and her family. While we mourn her death, we can all take solace in knowing she is finally reunited with her beloved Ronnie today.”
