We honor the life of Senator Nancy Kassebaum, a trailblazer who put the well-being of Kansans first. Her pioneering role as the first woman to represent our state in the U.S. Senate perfectly reflects the Kansas spirit. She was one of a kind, and she will be remembered among the greats who served the people of our state so well.
Senator Kassebaum’s time in public service embodied the institution of the U.S. Senate at its best. I campaigned for her in western Kansas during her first election in 1978, as well as the campaigns that followed. She was never afraid to challenge me in our conversations, but she was always a friend and encourager. She was deeply respected across our state, and Kansans remain grateful for the way in which she represented us with such intelligence and integrity.
Robba and I are keeping her children and the entire Kassebaum family in our thoughts as they mourn this loss. The legacy of the U.S. Senate, the well-being of our nation and, most significantly, the future of the state of Kansas are brighter because of the impact Senator Kassebaum had throughout her life. She will be deeply missed, but her legacy will never be forgotten.
We miss Senator Bob Dole every day. His one-liners, how much he loved the @UniversityofKansas Jayhawks, his ability to create camaraderie, the heart he had for service, how way he stood by his wife, Sen. Elizabeth – and so much more. 🧵
Today we remember Senator Bob Dole on what would have been his 99th birthday. His leadership & service touched millions of lives in America & around the world. He championed many of causes , including support for people with disabilities, honoring veterans, & feeding the hungry.
I worked with @RichardTrumka during #USMCA negotiations and saw his dedication and passion for our nation’s workers up close. He was a force.
As a product of the labor movement, this one strikes close to home. My thoughts go out to his family and @AFLCIO colleagues. #UnionStrong
Amb. Robert Lighthizer, who we are proud to have serve on the @AmerCompass board, asked that I share this statement from him on the passing of Richard Trumka:
"It is with great sadness that I note the passing of AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka..." (1/3)

"Even if America’s technology companies are not locked out of foreign markets, [our] failure to update our regulatory infrastructure for the digital age makes the U.S. less competitive by undermining trust in our technology sector," writes C.J. Mahoney. https://t.co/jMBMBEqrSp
