President Daniels on the passing of U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Statement from Purdue University President Mitch Daniels  regarding U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski, who was killed today (Aug. 3) in an automobile accident. Before serving in Congress, Walorski served three terms in the Indiana Statehouse (2004-2010), where she became assistant floor leader and worked closely with then-Gov. Daniels.

“There could not be worse news. I’m heartsick at this tragedy. Jackie Walorski was a great public servant, a brave and constant ally for change during all my years in elected office, and a great representative of her district at both the state and national levels. I can’t say how much I’ll miss her.”
