Rep. Anna V. Eskamani, PhD -Like so many, I have always admired and respected Senator Geraldine Thompson as a powerful and brave advocate for our community. She was a trailblazer, history maker, & impactful voice for justice. Sending so much love to her family during this difficult time.

Blaise Ingoglia-Senator Thompson had a long history of fighting for what she believed in. She will always be remembered as one of the most respected members ever in the Florida legislature.

Florida lost an icon today.

Our family will be praying for hers.

Sen. Jason Pizzo-Senator Geraldine Thompson has passed. An extraordinary woman, dedicated public servant, doting matriarch, and our dear friend.

The @FLSenate shall strive to honor the passion in her public service, her love for her family, and her truly remarkable legacy.

Danny Burgess-I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my colleague, fellow Senator Geraldine Thompson. She was a dedicated public servant, representing her community for nearly two decades in the Florida Legislature, and was well-respected by all who had the privilege to know and work with her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones during this difficult time.
