Congressional deaths

Wow. Used to be almost 10% would die in office.

We might hit 20 in this decade, first time since the 80s.

[89th]

We're on page for 28. I can math.

I saw Gerry Connolly died, he represented a good chunk of Northern Virginia. Fun fact, the guy before him (from like 1994 to 2007) was Tom Davis, whose (who's?) son was on my little league team. I remember one time knowing we had to raise $3k for a tournament and couldn't do it and Congressman Davis just saying "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." It was my first interaction with someone "rich".

In a way, the # of deaths tracks with improved health care.
