Courtney Statement on Passing of Congressman Walter Jones

February 12, 2019

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Joe Courtney (CT-02) released the following statement following the passing Congressman Walter Jones of North Carolina.

"The passing of Congressman Walter Jones of North Carolina is a sad day for our nation, and for the U.S. Congress," said Congressman Courtney. "I worked with Walter across the aisle as Members of the House Armed Services Committee for twelve years. He was a devoted public servant, and a gentleman who set a great example for how all Members of Congress should conduct themselves in Washington. His memory will be long-lasting for all of us who observed his service, and it is my hope that his legislative priorities will continue to have an influence on this year's defense authorization bill."
