LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON THE DEATH OF SAMANTHA WOLL

Brooklyn, NY — Today, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement:

I am deeply saddened to learn of the violent murder of Sam Woll, a synagogue president, interfaith activist and former Congressional staffer whose life was lived in service to her community and country. 

While we learn more about the motivation behind this senseless attack, it comes at a time where too many Americans, including our Jewish sisters and brothers, have reason to fear for their safety based on who they are or what they believe. 

My prayers are with her family and loved ones, the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue community, Team Slotkin and the entire Michigan congressional delegation. May Sam’s memory be a blessing to the many people touched by her life of service.
