WASHINGTON, D.C.–Senator John Thune sponsored a resolution adopted by the U.S. Senate honoring the late Tim Johnson, a Democrat who defeated Thune 22 years ago in a Senate race.
Republican Mike Rounds of South Dakota was among the 99 co-sponsors of the legislation, which passed with unanimous consent. The two senators issued a joint statement afterward.
“Former Senator Tim Johnson was a steadfast leader who represented South Dakota with integrity and compassion,” the statement said. “It is fitting that he be honored in this way, a tribute to his nearly 30 years in Congress and lifetime of service to the state he loved.”
