Larson Statement on the Passing of Former Senator Joe Lieberman

East Hartford, CT – Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) released the following statement on the passing of former United States Senator Joe Lieberman. 

“America has lost a great champion,” said Larson. “I have known Joe Lieberman all of my political life, from his time as Majority Leader in the Connecticut State Senate, through his tenure as Attorney General, and on to the United State Senate, where he and Chris Dodd were a dynamic force for the State of Connecticut. While we may have had political differences, I have always had the utmost of respect for Senator Lieberman, someone who cared deeply about his state and this great nation we live in. My heart and prayers go out to Hadassah and the entire Lieberman family. This is a tragic loss for the United States of America.”
