March 9, 2014

[MEMPHIS, TN] - Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09) released the following statement upon learning of the passing of Ted Welch:

“When I needed some guidance and help in passing the Tennessee Education Lottery, Ted Welch did not hesitate and was a strong supporter to have in my corner. His role in contributing to the educations of thousands and thousands of Tennessee’s HOPE Scholars cannot be overstated. I appreciate all that he did on both sides of the aisle and I am deeply saddened by news of his passing. Ted’s loss will be felt throughout Tennessee and our nation.”
