Rep. Jo Ann Davis, Virginia's first female Republican member of Congress, died Saturday after a long battle with breast cancer. She was 57.
Mrs. Davis, an outspoken social conservative and staunch advocate for Navy shipbuilding, had been absent from Capitol Hill most of the year as she struggled with a recurrence of breast cancer.
Christopher Connelly, her chief of staff, said Davis died at around 9 a.m. Saturday at her Gloucester home. "She was doing well and then took a turn for the worse in the last 48 hours or so," Connelly said in a voice-mail message.
RIP, Mrs. Davis.
