Seattle Mayor Ed Murray issued the following statement regarding the death of Beau Biden, Delaware’s former Attorney General and the son of Vice President Joe Biden:
“I offer my prayers and condolences to Vice President Biden’s family and the people of Delaware. Beau Biden was a dedicated public servant and Iraq war veteran whose loss is felt across America. I admired his strong support for LGBT equality, and that he served the people of Delaware and our nation with honor, integrity and faith. I grieve when any father must outlive a son or daughter, and I pray for healing for the Biden family, and all those who are mourning in the White House and the state of Delaware.”
