In Memoriam: Jaci Winship

Image

My team and I are absolutely devastated that Jaci Winship, our Senior Community Liaison, passed away this week.  Over the past decade, Jaci has faithfully served the people of Missouri's 2nd District with compassion and dedication.  She has been a core part of the team from the very beginning, and her passion for her work shined through in all she did.

Jaci’s commitment to helping the most vulnerable truly made our community better each and every day.  She was a leader in our fight against human trafficking and in helping victims of domestic violence.  Local advocates and community leaders knew they could count on her when they needed help at all hours of the day.

She had an innate desire to help others and foster a stronger, more creative, and more hardworking next generation of students.  She worked with high school students and art teachers as the head of our Congressional Art Competition, she championed emerging leaders in the tech space during the Congressional App Challenge, and she was a tireless advocate for students serving our nation in United States Service Academies.  The future is bright in Missouri thanks to Jaci’s work pushing students to work even harder and break out of their comfort zones.

Jaci served in numerous positions throughout the Missouri Republican Party. Whether she was working on a campaign for office or leading an issue-related organization, her passion inspired others to excellence. Called by her unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, Jaci was a staunch defender of the unborn and an activist in the pro-life community.  She was a champion of Israel and the Jewish community here in St. Louis where she made numerous friends and touched countless lives through her advocacy.

Jaci was a fighter for those in need, a deeply caring coworker, and a loving mother.  My heart breaks knowing she is no longer with us.  She made us all better people and we will be forever grateful to have known her.
