Speaker Don Scott Statement on the Passing of Congressman Gerry Connolly
Richmond, VA – Virginia House of Delegates Speaker Don Scott released the following statement on the passing of Congressman Gerry Connolly:
“It’s rare to find someone so deeply committed to public service and even rarer to witness the kind of lasting, visible impact Congressman Gerry Connolly made on his community, his Commonwealth, and his country. From transforming Northern Virginia’s transportation infrastructure – making transit more accessible for all – to shaping America’s role on the global stage, Gerry’s legacy reaches from local neighborhoods to the halls of Congress and across the world. He made his way to the top ranks of Congress not only because of his intelligence and unmatched work ethic, but because people trusted him, believed in him, and, above all, loved him.
“It is with profound sadness that I mourn the passing of one of Virginia’s most dedicated public servants. Mellanda and I extend our heartfelt condolences to his wife and the entire Connolly family."
