Murphy Statement On The Passing Of Former Connecticut Governor Jodi Rell

WASHINGTON-U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Thursday released the following statement on the passing of former Connecticut Governor Jodi Rell:

"Governor Rell was a public servant who could never be defined by traditional party lines. She led by example and helped restore trust in government, leaving behind a legacy guided by the values of integrity, responsibility, and civility in politics. Whether it be Connecticut's landmark clean elections system or our work to find breakthrough stem cell cures, so many great things about Connecticut have Governor Rell's fingerprints all over. Connecticut will miss her, and my thoughts are with her children, Mike and Meredith, and her entire family."
