Larson Statement on the Passing of Luisa DeLauro

Washington, D.C. – Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01), released the following statement after the passing of Luisa DeLauro, the mother of Rep. Rosa DeLauro (CT-03).

"Luisa DeLauro was a pioneer and a giant amongst the women of her generation. She was the epitome of service above self. Like so many women of her day, she broke down barriers with her persistence, her guile, and her determination. All of those attributes we get see exhibited first hand as exemplified by her daughter, Rosa DeLauro. My thoughts and prayers go out to Rosa, Stan, and the whole DeLauro family, in celebration of an extraordinary life of an extraordinary woman, Luisa DeLauro."
