Former Sen. Kay Hagan ‘unexpectedly’ dead at 66
|
[NYPOST] Kay Hagan
...Niece of former senator and Florida governor Lawton Chiles, married to a transaction lawyer, who has a net worth between $10.7 million and $40 million. He is a former Democrat ward heeler, which explains a lot. She defeated the listless Elizabeth Dole in 2008...
, a former bank executive from North Carolina who served one term in the US Senate, died Monday of encephalitis, or brain inflammation, which was caused by the Powassan virus. She was 66.
Hagan had been diagnosed in 2016 with the rare tick-borne virus and the inflammation made it difficult for her to speak and walk, said her former Senate spokeswoman, Sadie Weiner, who now works for Gov. Roy Cooper.
"We are heartbroken to share that Kay left us unexpectedly this morning," her family said in a statement. "We are deeply grateful for the support shared with our family as Kay worked to regain her strength these last few years after her illness, and we appreciate your continued prayers.
"Kay meant everything to us, and we were honored to share her with the people of North Carolina whom she cared for and fought for so passionately as an elected official. Most of all, we already miss her humor and spirit as the hub of our family, a role she loved more than anything. Nobody could light up a room and make people feel welcome like Kay."
The Democrat served a single term in the Senate when she beat Republican Elizabeth Dole in 2008. She lost her 2014 re-election bid to Republican North Carolina House Speaker Thom Tillis.
