Speaker Hackney’s statement on death of former Rep. Bertha “B” Holt
“I am saddened today by the death of B Holt. During her nearly 20 years in the North Carolina House of Representatives, she proved to be a dedicated and highly competent lawmaker and a pioneering female lawyer who mentored many of the women who followed her into the legislature. She loved representing the people of Alamance County and remained active in her community right to the end. North Carolina has lost a passionate champion, and I wish her family well during this difficult time.”
