Rep. Sylvester Turner, a newly elected congressman from Texas, passed away shortly after President Trump's congressional speech. Turner, 70, previously served as Houston's mayor and was known for his commitment to public service. His death was confirmed by current mayor John Whitmire, who described Turner as a remarkable public servant who impacted millions and remembered his humble beginnings. Prior to his death, Turner attended the State of the Union with a constituent advocating for Medicaid support for her child, emphasizing his dedication to his district and healthcare issues.
A remarkable public servant who impacted millions of people, Whitmire said, according to KHOU. He rose from poverty but never forgot where he came from. It is a terrible loss for the city and a personal loss for me.
My message to the current administration for tonight's State of the Union: Don't mess with Medicaid,' he said in one of final last X posts. I am proud to have Angela Hernandez here from our Congressional district as my guest.
