Boston, MA - The MassGOP is grieved by the passing of State Representative Susan Williams Gifford, who faithfully served the residents of the 2nd Plymouth District since her election in November 2002. Susan was a tireless advocate for the people of Massachusetts, holding the position of Minority Whip in the House of Representatives. Her leadership extended to key roles, including Ranking Minority Member of the House Committee on Steering, Policy, and Schedule, Ranking Minority Member of the Joint Committee on Agriculture, and as a member of the House Committee on Human Resources and Employee Engagement.

MassGOP Chair Amy Carnevale expressed her heartfelt condolences on the passing of State Representative Williams Gifford stating, “Susan inspired conservative women across Massachusetts to engage in politics. Her leadership was defined by unwavering commitment to her values, coupled with a unique kindness that touched everyone she encountered. Susan’s unyielding commitment to the residents of Carver, Middleboro, and Wareham was truly inspirational and serves as a high standard for all civil servants. This is an immeasurable loss for all of us. On behalf of the party, our thoughts and prayers are with her husband, Mark, and her family as they grieve this profound loss.”
