PHOENIX— House Democratic Leader Reginald Bolding released the following statement today on the passing of Rep. Frank Pratt of Casa Grande. Pratt, an Arizona native and Republican who represented District 8, passed away today at the age of 79.
"Representative Pratt was a deeply respected member of our Legislative family who loved this state with all his heart. We may not have always agreed, but he was never once disagreeable. He loved his work for his constituents and always showed up ready to work. And although he was not vocal, when he spoke, his words carried weight. I will personally miss our conversations on the House Floor, and our caucus will all miss the presence of a class act who never put partisanship in front of relationships. We send our deepest condolences to Representative Pratt's family and loved ones."
