Gov. Younkin’s statement on passing of Virginia State Sen. Frank Ruff

RICHMOND, VA— Governor Glenn Youngkin issued the following statement on the passing of State Senator Frank Ruff:

“Virginia has lost a legend of public service whose legacy will be felt across the Commonwealth not for years—but generations to come. Senator Frank Ruff has always believed that his public service was about finding good policy solutions to improve the lives of Virginians in rural communities.

“Frank’s decades of service to the people of Virginia—spanning the General Assembly since 1993, the Mecklenburg Board of Supervisors before that, and finally as a citizen member and chairman of the Tobacco Regional Revitalization Commission—are matched by few but have inspired many.

“This year, I had the profound honor of signing unanimously approved legislation to rename the Rural Center, which he founded, in his honor.

“Suzanne and I ask all Virginians to join us in keeping his wife Jessie, their children, grandchildren, and all of his family and friends in our heartfelt prayers.”
