Rep. Hayes Statement on Maggie O'Leary

Statement

Today, United States Congresswoman Jahana Hayes (CT-05) released the following statement after Maggie O'Leary, daughter of Waterbury Mayor Neil O'Leary, and a former Hayes intern, was injured in a car accident in Florida.

"A few moments ago, I learned of the terrible accident in Florida suffered by the College of the Holy Cross' Women's Rowing Team, including Maggie O'Leary. Maggie worked as an intern in my office and alongside me at various community service events. During the course of her internship, she assisted constituents with casework and attended events on my behalf. Maggie is a true leader and as her capstone project, she organized and led an amazing event with Girls Inc. in support of female empowerment and self-defense skills for women."

"I join my staff in sending our thoughts and prayers to Maggie. She will always be part of our family."
