Rep. Ron Kind Statement on the Passing of Gov. Patrick Lucey

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI) released the following statement on the passing of former Gov. Patrick Lucey:

“Born and raised in western Wisconsin, Governor Lucey was a dedicated public servant who put Wisconsin first. 

From creating the modern UW system to fighting for civil rights, the impact that Governor Lucey’s leadership had on our state will be felt for generations to come. And the beautiful stretch of highway along the Mississippi River that bears his name is a testament to his commitment to Wisconsin’s natural wonders.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Governor Lucey’s family, as we all reflect on his great legacy.”
