“I am saddened by the death of Alaska Rep. Don Young. He was a true champion for Alaska and served dutifully for more than three-fourths of his state’s existence. The Dean of the House, a mentor to me and many others, the longest-serving Republican and a truly legendary figure in the chamber. I send my deepest condolences to his wife Anne, the Young family, and the good people of Alaska. The House will not be the same without him.”
Congressman Alex X. Mooney on the Passing of Congressman Don Young
