(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont today released the following statement regarding the passing of Ed Gomes, former state senator from Bridgeport:
“Senator Ed Gomes was a fighter – for Bridgeport, for workers and for the State of Connecticut. Courageous and persistent, when I first entered politics to lead a charge for change in 2006, Ed Gomes was the first one to stand by my side. More than just Bridgeport, Connecticut lost a giant today who advocated for so many. Ed will be sorely missed by all, and our prayers go out to his family and loved ones.”
