印第安纳州共和党国会众议员沃洛斯基(Jackie Walorski)周三在她的家乡遭遇车祸身亡,终年58岁。
埃尔克哈特郡(Elkhart)警长办公室称,沃洛斯基和其他三人在一场致命车祸中死亡,她的家人已被告知死讯。
沃洛斯基出生于印第安纳州南本德,于2012年首次当选国会议员。她是众议院道德委员会的资深共和党成员,也是筹款委员会一员。
警长办公室介绍,沃洛斯基的通讯主管汤姆森(Emma Thomson)和当地共和党成员波茨(Zachary Potts)也在事故中丧生,与他们相撞的那辆车的司机同样在事故中丧生。
沃洛斯基的死讯令人震惊,今年还有两名现任众议院成员相继在一个月内去世,分别是代表阿拉斯加州的唐·杨(Don Young)和代表明尼苏达州的哈格多恩(Jim Hagedorn)。
沃洛斯基是儿童和家庭的倡导者,也是众议院共和党党团会议中对女性有影响力的声音,她在任期间曾帮助不断提升女性地位。如果共和党在11月重新夺回众议院,沃洛斯基本将担任筹款委员会主席一职。
