Missouri Democratic Party Executive Director Matthew Patterson issued the following statement of condolence

regarding the death of former Senator and First Lady Jean Carnahan:


“Senator Carnahan was a fierce and brilliant public servant who spent her lifetime dedicated to working for

Missouri families. Jean was a trailblazer and served as a champion to children, education, and our military

personnel in the US Senate and at home. Missouri is a better state because of Jean’s compassionate service, and

her legacy will be felt by Missourians for generations to come. Our thoughts and condolences are with Party Chair
