McConnell on the Passing of Former Governor Martha Layne Collins

November 1, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement today regarding the passing of former Kentucky Governor Martha Layne Collins:

"As Kentucky's first female governor, Martha Layne Collins was known for breaking barriers. Governor Collins was a tireless advocate for all levels of education in Kentucky, and that passion carried her throughout her life. She also promoted growth in the Commonwealth by bringing the Toyota Plant to Georgetown stimulating the regional economy. It is with deep sadness that Elaine and I learned about Governor Collins' passing, and we send our sincere condolences to her husband, Bill, and her two children."
