I can only second what others have said about Paula Nowakowski, whose sudden death over the weekend is a terrible loss to all who knew her and to all who care about limited government and American values and might not have realized how important a champion of both she has been behind the scenes for so many years.

I saw Paula at a meeting just last week, and she seemed fully her strong and healthy self. It’s a terrible reminder of how fleeting life can be. Deepest condolences to her family and colleagues.

R.I.P.
