Craig Caplan @CraigCaplan - Senator McConnell on the passing of the late former Senator Kyl: “I was so sorry to learn of the passing of my good friend and former colleague, Jon Kyl. It is not often that the Senate is blessed by the talents of such a devoted and capable public servant twice over. Jon lent a capacious mind and bottomless energy to efforts as diverse as missile defense and western water rights. His well-deserved reputation for straight shooting made him a highly effective vote counter as Republican Whip. And his humble work ethic made everyone around him look better. So, grateful for his friendship and service, Elaine and I join Jon’s beloved Caryll, their children, Kristine and John, and the entire Kyl family in their grief. Arizona and our nation have lost a giant.”

Craig Caplan @CraigCaplan - Senator Kyl in his first Senate farewell address in December 2012: "As I look back on my 26 years in Congress and my 18 years in the Senate, I am deeply proud of everything we have accomplished—from tax
relief and welfare reform to missile defense and nuclear
policy, not to mention things of primary importance to
my State. But I also understand that political victories can be ephemeral because in a democracy, a debate over these issues never really ends. It is always ongoing."
