Senate Passes Bipartisan Resolution Honoring Former Senator Jon Kyl's Legacy
The U.S. Senate has unanimously passed a bipartisan resolution, introduced by Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), to honor the life, service, and legacy of the late former Arizona Senator Jon Kyl. The resolution was co-sponsored by every member of the Senate, including Senators Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), and Mitch McConnell (R-KY). Senator Kyl served Arizona for nearly three decades, first in the U.S. House of Representatives for four terms and then for three terms in the U.S. Senate, where he held leadership positions. He also returned to the Senate in 2018 following the passing of Senator John McCain. The resolution acknowledges his significant contributions to water policy, crime victims' rights, national security, defense, and intelligence. His work on securing tribal water settlements was particularly highlighted as a lasting impact on Arizona.
