CONNOLLY\n\nWashington, D.C. \u2013 Congresswoman Stacey E. Plaskett released the following statement on the passing of Congressman Gerald E. Connolly.\n\n\u201cI was deeply saddened to hear of Congressman Connolly\u2019s passing. A consummate statesman, he advocated fiercely for his constituents and was a passionate legislator.\n\n\u201cI had the pleasure of working with Gerry when I first came to Congress on the Oversight Committee and appreciated his commitment to performing his duties to keep our federal government working efficiently, as well as his defense and advocacy for government employees\u2014so many of whom worked in his district. When I worked with him in the last Congress, we were both members of the Weaponization of the Federal Government Select Subcommittee; Gerry was passionate about defending our democratic values and was a great team player.\n\n\u201cI offer my prayers and deepest condolences to his family, his staff and all those who loved him.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T00:49:36Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://plaskett.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=4657"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9048851206898689, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
