Leader Reives Statement on Passing of Rep. Joe John

“Today our House Democratic Caucus is mourning the death of Rep. Joe John. Rep. John had a storied career in public service, ultimately serving in all three branches of North Carolina’s government. First as a judge, then as the Director of the SBI, and most recently as a member of the North Carolina House of Representatives.

“He was one of the best men I’ve known — a strong leader, outstanding public servant and a great friend. Everyone who met him knows how kind Rep. John was to everyone in the room. His commitment to our state and its people will be sorely missed. I am keeping his family in my thoughts and prayers.”
