Prescott, AZ – Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) issued the following statement after the passing of Alaska Congressman Don Young.

“Maude and I are saddened to learn of the passing of Congressman Don Young and we send our deepest condolences to Don’s family. Alaskans, indeed our entire country, lost a great American.  Congressman Young loved our country, was a tireless champion for the people of Alaska and was dedicated to making their lives better.  Don was more than the Dean of the Congressional Delegation, he was legend unsurpassed by no one.  He will be sorely missed in the House of Representatives.

Today, we lift his entire family up in prayer during this most difficult time,” concluded Rep. Gosar.
