WASHINGTON – Senator Amy Klobochar of Minnesota remembered her predecessor Dave Durenberger, who died Tuesday, for rising above partisanship. She eulogized him as “a dedicated legislator who was always guided by his devotion to bipartisanship.” Klobuchar has held Durenberger’s Senate seat since 2007. She said he personally showed her much kindness when she was first elected. She is a Democrat, he a Republican. Klobuchar said Durenberger’s significance in three terms in the Senate was improving people’s lives. “His work to advance the Americans with Disabilities Act and prohibit discrimination against people with disabilities changed millions of lives for the better and made our nation stronger.,” she said.
Klobuchar. Recalls his commitment, kindness.
