I would just say that he is part of an incredible family, the Bailey family. John Bailey, his father-in-law, the chairman of the Democratic Party in Connecticut, in fact brought that Democratic Party from minority status to extraordinary majority status, helped elect the first Jewish Governor, the first woman Governor.

I thank both my colleagues for allowing me the opportunity to really say something that I feel very deeply about.
