Tubbs Jones, 58, was hospitalized on Tuesday and reportedly remained unconscious Wednesday, according to Fox News.
A hospital spokesman declined to reveal specific information about the Ohio congresswoman’s condition at the request of family members.
Tubbs Jones became the first black woman to represent Ohio in Congress when she was elected in 1998.
Tubbs Jones is a superdelegate for next week’s Democratic National Convention in Denver. She was one of Senator Hillary Clinton’s biggest supporters during the Ohio primary. She later endorsed Barack Obama after the primary season ended.
Tubbs Jones chairs the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct and serves on the influential House Ways and Means Committee.
Her district includes most of downtown and eastern Cleveland and many of the eastern suburbs in Cuyahoga County including Euclid, Cleveland Heights, and Shaker Heights.
The Cleveland Democrat was married for 27 years to Mervyn L. Jones, Sr., who died in 2003.
