The passing of Rep. Bob Matsui from Congress is a little shocking and apparently quite unanticipated.
Congressman Matsui, whom I had the honor of meeting once, was quite a man. Despite our political disagreements on some issues, I found him to be a quiet man determined to fight for what he thought was best for his constituents, California and the United States.
His passing also presents a challenge for Democrats as Matsui had recently been chosen to lead the DCCC in its fight to maintain relevance in the House of Representatives as well as attempt to regain the majority in 2006.
This is an article that appeared in Roll Call today.
