Pat Schroeder Dies at 82

https://kdvr.com/news/politics/ap-po...s-rights-dies/

Schroeder was elected to Congress in Colorado in 1972 and became one of its most influential Democrats as she won easy reelection 11 times from her safe district in Denver.

She held office for 24 years, to be replaced with Diana DeGette who has served for 26 years... and counting.

I can remember my dad complaining about her politics when I was kid. While serving she was thought of as pretty far left. Today she would barely move the needle left of center.

As a teen in the late 80's to mid-90's, I learned that our viewpoints had very little in common.

Service members who got a divorce and lost half of their retirement wont miss her.

I like that she moved to Florida when she retired. Spent 24 years contributing to making Denver very progressive then jumps ship.

Considering what a shithole this state has become, should not take much.
Good riddance.

There is a saying in Florida, "when I get old, I am going to dye my hair blue and drive real slow".

She's in Florida? Damn...I've been eating kimchi, boiled eggs, asparagus...stuff just so I could 'pay my respects'.
