Alaska’s longtime Representative Don Young is being honored this week in Washington after passing away at the age of 88.
Friends, family, and former colleagues will say goodbye to the late “Dean of the House”, with tributes beginning on Capitol Hill with a Lying in State ceremony Tuesday.
“I got a historical lesson, a political lesson, and a personal lesson from Don Young about me daring to speak about Alaska without checking with him first. That’s Don Young,” said Grijalva. Sullivan says it’s a fitting sendoff for a larger-than-life figure. He says a Lying in State is a great way for Alaskans to say goodbye to their late representative but also, for all Americans to pay their respects, given Don Young’s lengthy service.
