Don Young cause of death
“It’s with crushing sadness and profound pity that we declare Congressman Don Young, the Dean of the House and respected champion for Alaska, died today while venturing out home to Alaska to accompany the state and individuals that he cherished,” the assertion said.
Young, a Republican and the longest-serving member of Congress, lost consciousness on a flight from Los Angeles to Seattle and couldn’t be resuscitated, said Jack Ferguson, a lobbyist who once served as Young’s chief of staff.
“Everyone’s learning about it right at the moment. The phone’s ringing off the hook,” Ferguson said in a phone interview Friday evening. “I’m sad to lose such a good friend, and a person that I’ve known all his political career.”
Young served in Congress since 1973. He was sworn in after winning a special election to replace Democrat Nick Begich, who disappeared on a campaign flight.
In his 49 years in office, Young developed a particular political brand, with recklessness and verbal blunders belying an insight about the inward operations of Congress and an exceptional standing for bipartisanship.
Youthful presented Deb Haaland, a previous Democratic Congresswoman, when President Joe Biden selected her as Interior Secretary last year, and he asked Democratic U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi to meet him for a beverage when he confirmed her as House Speaker.
John Boehner, a Republican previous House speaker, when said Young held a blade to his throat – “generally obvious,” Young recognized – however at that point Boehner consented to be the best man at Young’s wedding.
