(HARTFORD, CT) - Governor Ned Lamont and Lt. Governor Susan Bysiewicz today released the following statements regarding the hospitalization of U.S. Senator Chris Murphy:

Governor Lamont said, "Just two days ago, I was with Senator Chris Murphy doing what he loves most: encouraging Connecticut residents to make their voices heard and vote on Tuesday. There is no stronger advocate for our democracy, and no one who fights harder for the people of this state.

I am sure that he will be walking across the state again very soon, and we will all be cheering him on."
