Statement from President Obama
I
am heartbroken at the tragic loss of one of my advisors, Jake Brewer.
We set out to recruit the best of the best to join their government and
help us harness the power of
technology and data to innovate new solutions for the 21st century.
Simply put, Jake was one of the best. Armed with a brilliant mind, a
big heart, and an insatiable desire to give back, Jake devoted his life
to empowering people and making government work
better for them. He worked to give citizens a louder voice in our
society. He engaged our striving immigrants. He pushed for more
transparency in our democracy. And he sought to expand opportunity for
all. I’ve often said that today’s younger generation
is smarter, more determined, and more capable of making a difference
than I was as a young man. Jake was proof of that. Michelle and I are
praying for all of Jake’s family and his many friends, most of all his
wife, Mary Katharine Ham, their daughter, Georgia,
and their growing family. They'll always have a family here at the
White House.
