Statement

Date: March 3, 2021
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Executive Branch Education

U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Wednesday issued the following statement on First Lady Dr. Jill Biden's visit to Meriden, Connecticut:

"It's been quite a few days for Connecticut's world class school system. Earlier this week, the Senate confirmed my friend and Meriden native Dr. Miguel Cardona to lead our country's education policy as Secretary of Education. And now we get a visit from another lifelong advocate for educators and children, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden. The first lady's visit to our state is another testament to the Biden administration's commitment to improving our education system and getting our children and educators back into the classroom in a safe way. Although I'm here in Washington negotiating a COVID-19 relief package, I'm happy that the nation's attention will be on the Silver City and its vibrant and diverse educational community," said Murphy.
