Klobuchar Statement on the Passing of Former U.S. Representative Rick Nolan

MINNEAPOLIS - U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) released the statement below following the passing of former U.S. Representative Rick Nolan.

"Rick Nolan was an incredible friend that dedicated his life to public service and his family. With his thunderous voice and passion for the people, Rick was a one-of-a-kind leader," said Klobuchar. "He was the comeback kid. He went from being one of the youngest members of Congress to being one of the oldest freshmen when he was sworn in again at 69. He was the consummate outdoorsman, friend of labor, and he never forgot where he came from. John and my thoughts and prayers are with Mary and his family."
