WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement today regarding the passing of anchorman Ken Rowland:

“I was saddened to hear about the passing of Ken Rowland, a Kentucky broadcasting legend. Ken was a familiar face on Louisville news channels for decades, and I remember his award winning coverage during his days at WLKY and WHAS. Ken was a Hall of Fame journalist and I got to know him while serving as County Judge-Executive when he would report stories from the local courthouse. Elaine and I join with the city he loved to send our condolences to his wife and family and his TV family. He will be missed.”

‘Later today, the Senate will consider two more talented nominees to the federal judiciary. First, we will vote to confirm the nomination of Dabney Friedrich to serve as a district court judge for the District of Columbia. Next, we will vote to advance the nomination of an exceptionally well-qualified nominee to the federal judiciary, Gregory Katsas to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.’
