GOV. MALLOY & LT. GOV. WYMAN STATEMENTS ON DECISION BY HOUSE MINORITY LEADER CAFERO TO NOT SEEK RE-ELECTION

(HARTFORD, CT) - Governor Dannel P. Malloy and Lt. Governor Nancy Wyman released the following statements regarding the announcement made today by House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero, Jr. (R-Norwalk) to not seek re-election this fall:

Governor Dannel P. Malloy said, "During his 22 years serving in the House of Representatives, Larry Cafero has consistently been one of the most passionate and energetic voices at the State Capitol. He has fought hard for his constituents year in and year out, and he's done it with character and good humor. I'm proud to have worked with him across the aisle on critical issues like job growth, improving Connecticut schools, and making our state a safer place to work and live. Aside from being a colleague, he's become a friend, and I wish him, his wife Barbara, and their children the very best."

Lt. Governor Nancy Wyman said, "Representative Cafero is an institution here at the General Assembly. His leadership, quick wit, and good heart will be greatly missed. I was a State Representative when he was elected - from day one he has vigorously represented his district and been a strong advocate for his constituents. For more than two decades, Representative Cafero has been generous of his time and expertise in encouraging Connecticut to be a better, stronger state."
