McConnell Comments on the Passing of Robert Hatcher

Statement

U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement today on the passing of Robert Hatcher of Providence, Kentucky:

"I am mourning the loss of my good friend, Robert Hatcher, whose lifelong work on behalf of the conservative movement as the self-proclaimed "first Republican in Providence' brought him in touch with me and every other elected official in his area. We became close during my first run for statewide office and remained friends as he helped transform his corner of the Commonwealth into a conservative bastion. Robert epitomized the type of grassroots organizer that I have found so important during my career, helping recruit and train many others to follow in his footsteps. I offer my deepest sympathy to the entire Hatcher family and join all of Robert's friends and colleagues in grieving his loss."
