The Supreme Court announced the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday. The court said Ginsburg died at her home in Washington, D.C., surrounded by family.
Ginsburg died of complications due to metastatic pancreatic cancer. Central Florida Leaders are sharing their condolences from both sides of the aisle.
“It is hard to put into words how profound of an impact Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had not just in American history, but especially women. The world is so different for women because of RBG,” Representative Anna Eskamani told WDBO.

A great loss in Justice Ginsburg's passing. Many lessons in her life & death. A courageous woman, she fought cancer tooth and nail. Whether you agreed with her decisions or not, you had to admire her spirit, her tenacity, her commitment to our nation.

Justice Ginsburg may have done more over her lifetime to advance women’s rights than any other American.

Equality mattered to her. It should matter to all of us—and is worth fighting for.
We are grateful for a life well lived.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She was a trailblazer, feminist icon, and fierce defender of civil rights on the US Supreme Court. She’s leaves behind a more perfect union particularly for women. Rest In Peace #RBG https://t.co/6kXCESVNOL

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and to her family and friends. I'm ordering flags throughout the state of Florida be lowered to half staff to honor her memory and recognize her lifetime of service to our great nation.
