Senator Collins' Statement on the Passing of Former Senator Richard Lugar

Statement

U.S. Senator Susan Collins released this statement following the passing of former Senator Richard Lugar:

"Senator Richard Lugar was a true statesman and patriot, a leader who served with such integrity and intelligence. He was one of the finest Senators with whom I had the privilege of serving.

"Senator Lugar made such a positive difference not only as a mayor and a Senator but also globally where his foreign policy expertise was widely respected. At the Lugar Center, he continued to promote the bipartisanship that was a hallmark of his work in the Senate.

"My heart goes out to his wife, Char, and their four sons and their families."
