Larson Honors Connecticut's Kid Governor

East Hartford, CT – Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) visited Connecticut’s Kid Governor, Elena Tipton, at Dr. Thomas S. O’Connell School. Tipton was elected on her Campaign for Kindness platform, and was inaugurated at the Old State House in January. Larson presented her with a Congressional citation and a letter from President Barack Obama in recognition of her work to end bullying.

“I think we can all learn something from Elena,” said Larson. “Her Campaign for Kindness has encouraged students across the state to treat one another with the respect and compassion everyone deserves. I am proud to recognize all she has done to speak out against bullying, and I wish her luck during the rest of what I expect will be a very successful term.”
