STATE SENATOR CECI MAHER RELEASES STATEMENT ON PASSING OF CONNECTICUT GOVERNOR M. JODI RELL

Today, State Senator Ceci Maher (D-Wilton) issued the following statement in response to the death of M. Jodi Rell, who served as Connecticut’s Governor from 2004 to 2011, Lt. Governor from 1995-2004 and in the House of Representatives from 1985-1995:

“After two decades of serving Connecticut in the House and as Lieutenant Governor, Jodi Rell assumed the Governorship during a key time in the state’s history. In a period where trust in state leadership could easily have eroded, Rell used a steady hand and a kind, respected approach to keep Connecticut on the right track. She set a strong example for leaders and women in our state; I send my condolences to her family and friends.”
