WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement today on the passing of Donna Butt-Moore, his field assistant in his Eastern Kentucky office:
“Elaine and I were heartbroken to learn the tragic news that Donna Butt-Moore, my office’s longtime field assistant in London, Kentucky, passed away suddenly today. Donna was the rock of my team’s Eastern Kentucky field office, helping constituents piece through federal paperwork, answering calls from concerned Kentuckians, and welcoming every visitor with a smile. During my frequent trips to her part of Kentucky, she helped every event run smoothly and became an indispensable part of my work in the region.
“Donna’s passion was hospitality, whether it was assisting her neighbors during her day job as a field assistant or helping friends and family plan parties and dinners after work. She made every visitor, constituent, and fellow staff member feel at home. After fourteen years of service with my team, she leaves behind colleagues who became family. Elaine and I offer our deepest condolences to Donna’s husband, Doug, her brothers, Bruce and Bub, her beloved nieces and nephews, and everyone else who knew and adored this exceptional public servant, woman, and friend.”
