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

HARTFORD – Today, Senate President Pro Tempore Martin Looney (D-New Haven) released the following statement regarding the passing of former WTNH reporter Mark Davis.

“In a media landscape where personalities come and go with jarring frequency, Mark Davis was a steady presence for many years, beginning in broadcast journalism in the early 1980s as I was starting my own career in the General Assembly. For decades, Mark could be found seated in the front row of nearly every press conference, ready with the first question. He understood the vital role government plays in the lives of residents and recognized the media’s responsibility to illuminate its workings, even when simpler, flashier stories competed for attention. He brought a sharp mind and unmistakable presence to his work, and he will be missed.”
