Kaine Statement on Congressman Connolly’s Announcement

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) released the following statement regarding U.S. Representative Gerald E. Connolly’s (D-VA-11) announcement:

“For decades, my friend Gerry Connolly has shown Virginia and the country how to fight for what is right. No one has fought harder when it comes to Virginia’s federal workforce, transportation infrastructure, congressional oversight, and our commitment to critical alliances like NATO. I’m deeply moved by the way he has brought that same courage to his fight against cancer, and will do all I can to support him and his family. We talked this morning and, amidst the sadness, I expressed my profound admiration for his service and my deep love for him and Smitty.”
