McConnell Statement on the Passing of Retired Judge Walt Maguire

October 9, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement today regarding the passing of retired judge Walt Maguire:

"I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my good friend, Walt Maguire. Walt and I attended law school together at the University of Kentucky, and his impressive judicial career spanning 29 years is a testament to his public service. His devotion to others was evident by his extensive involvement in the community-teaching classes at UK and Somerset Community College, as well as serving on several state judicial councils. Walt's friendship meant a lot to me, and I always enjoyed seeing him when I was in Somerset. Elaine and I are thinking of his family and friends during this difficult time."
