DCCC Chair Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney Statement on Passing of Madeleine Albright

DCCC Chair Rep. Maloney released the following statement on the passing of former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright

“Madeleine Albright embodied the American dream and what it truly meant to be a trailblazer. From coming to the United States as a refugee, Secretary Albright worked her way to the highest ranks of American foreign policy, breaking glass ceilings along the way.

I spent one unforgettable day with her in Moscow where she, President Clinton, and Boris Yeltsin were preparing to sign a document that I was carrying. She treated us all the same. Her tireless work championing democracy and human rights around the world has helped shape us for the better. I thank Secretary Albright for her years of leadership, service, and courageous inspiration.”
