The Passing of My Dear Friend and Chief of Staff, Jacqueline Ellis

Dear Friends,

It is with much sadness that I inform you that my dear friend and Chief of Staff Jacqueline Ellis, has passed away. I know this is a difficult time for everyone; Jacqui was a spiritual mother, sister, mentor, and friend to many of us over the years. Her charitable nature, her largesse of spirit, her selfless dedication to public service, and her strong faith are the well-known qualities that made us all love her.

My heart tells me that while she may not be present physically, she is with us spiritually and eager to see us continue her selfless life’s work. I humbly ask that as we mourn our loss and support her family through this difficult time, we also celebrate her life of righteous accomplishments and honorable deeds.

May she rest in the peace she has so richly earned.


Prayerfully yours,

Al Green
Member of Congress
