Sen. Duff Releases Statement on the Passing of Former WTNH Reporter Mark Davis

Today, Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff (D-Norwalk) released the following statement regarding the passing of former WTNH reporter Mark Davis.

“I started watching Mark with my grandparents, who always turned on Channel 8 for state news. When I first met Mark working on a gubernatorial campaign in 1994, I was starstruck. He was probably one of the first people I shook hands with who was actually on the television. Mark was so kind and easygoing, almost like he had known me for years. I immediately called my grandparents to tell them who I had a conversation with. Years later, when I was elected to the legislature and was interviewed by Mark, he was still the same kind and easygoing person but was always tough with his reporting yet fair. We lost one of the good ones today. I hope my grandparents and he have the same opportunity to shake hands and talk about the issues of the day.”
