Etheridge statement on passing of Bertha “B” Holt


Washington, D.C. -— U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge (D-Lillington) released the following statement Friday on the passing of longtime N.C. legislator, Bertha ‘B’ Holt of Burlington:

“B was a delightful lady and a very good legislator who I had the honor of serving with for many years in the General Assembly. She was a tenacious advocate for working families in North Carolina, but she was tenacious in the nicest way. When you thought about B’s work in the legislature it was clear she fought for the people.

“She was also one of my closest friends in public service and was a true pioneer for women across our state. North Carolina will miss her.”
