Larson Statement on the Passing of Former Governor M. Jodi Rell

East Hartford, CT - Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) released the following statement on the passing of former Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell.

"Governor Rell led our state with grace and dignity and was widely respected by lawmakers on both sides of the aisle and the entire State of Connecticut," said Larson. "She was the personification of class and leadership. She rose above party politics to bring our state together and restore the people's faith in government during troubling times. It was an honor to serve alongside her in the Connecticut General Assembly, and work with her as a Member of Congress when she served as Governor. Our state was well-served by her principled leadership. My heart goes out to her children Michael and Meredith, her grandchildren, and the entire Rell family."
