Statement from Rep. Scott Peters and Team Regarding the Passing of Our Friend Becca Taylor
Team Peters lost one of its brightest alumni stars last night, and we are heartbroken. We met Becca Taylor when she worked as an organizer in our 2014 re-election campaign. It was a tough and tense one, but above the dull roar of a packed campaign office, we could hear Becca’s distinct and upbeat voice cheering others on, a one-person pep squad. Since that time, we’ve remained loyal friends and supporters of one another. Becca, always rooting for us and looking out for us. And we were always cheering on Becca, whether in her run for Central Committee, search for a new job, and then ultimately when she became County Party Chair. Becca was a Navy veteran, a talented and tireless advocate and organizer for Democratic causes, and a true friend. Her infectious laugh, bright smile and twinkle were ever present. Scott and his leadership team have always taken great pride in the leaders that emerge from our offices and campaigns; today we are mourning a great one. This is a brutalizing loss for all of us. We will miss you tremendously, sweet Becca. Thank you for everything. Our love and prayers go out to Becca’s family, and all who loved her.
