DemDaily: In Memoriam
January 4, 2019
Former Senator Daniel Akaka (D-HI) died April 6th at age 93. Akaka said he wanted to inspire others to follow in his footsteps of public service and caring for others. "I want them to know that I believe and used my life as an example of aloha"
The new Congress and the new year provides an opportunity to honor the elected lawmakers and public servants we lost in 2018.
"We must find time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives."
-- John F. Kennedy
