Statement on the death of Sen. Frank Lautenberg

Today, the United States Senate and the American people lost a tremendous champion for a healthy and just world with the passing of Sen. Frank Lautenberg. From fighting for greater access to public transportation and Amtrak to working to reform U.S. chemical policy, Sen. Lautenberg was an environmental leader and will be missed. Our thoughts go out to the Lautenberg family.

-Erich Pica,
