U.S. Senator Deb Fischer released the following statement after learning of the passing of Senator Cap Dierks.:

"I met Senator Dierks in the 1980s when I joined many rural school advocates from across Nebraska in representing our state's rural K-12 schools. He was a champion in the Nebraska legislature for our state's children and our state's school districts. Cap became a close friend when I had the honor of serving with him during his second tenure in the Unicameral from 2007 to 2011. He was always a gentleman, sincere and honest in every relationship, and he had the deep respect of all who knew him. He will be missed. Bruce and I send our deepest sympathies to Gloria and his family."
