Blumenthal Statement on Passing of Edith Prague

[HARTFORD, CT] – U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) issued the following statement on the passing of Edith Prague:

“Edith Prague was fierce and fearless – unexcelled and unstinting in her passion to give voice to the most vulnerable among us. Her life was incomparable, consummate public servant, working tirelessly for causes of justice and equity well into her 80s. I was proud to be her partner on a number of causes – such as stopping impaired driving and advancing elderly health care. She was a model and mentor for me and so many, and I was grateful to count her as a friend. I extend my deepest sympathies to her family.”
