Larson Statement on the Passing of Carmen Rodriguez

Hartford, CT – Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) released the following statement upon hearing of the loss of one of Hartford's leaders, Carmen Rodriguez.

"Carmen's contribution to the city of Hartford and the state of Connecticut will leave a legacy for generations to come. As an advocate for social justice, she was a consummate fighter for the rights of those that were often marginalized in the community. Her fighting spirit undoubtedly inspired a future generation in the Hartford region especially those from the Puerto Rican community. I was honored to have worked along her side. Carmen's life and work is an inspiration to us all and she will be missed, but I take comfort in the knowledge that her work will proceed her," said Larson.
