WASHINGTON — Congresswoman Juanita Millender-McDonald (D-Calif.) died of cancer at her home Sunday.
The 68-year-old congresswoman, who was a previous co-sponsor to the Credit Union Regulatory Improvements Act (H.R. 1537), had just begun her seventh term representing California's 37th district.
Millender-McDonald announced a major surgery in 2005, but kept any details private. She announced her cancer diagnosis April 19, 2007.
A special election will be held to find her replacement.
