Senator Paul Wellstone Legacy
Shortly before he died in a plane crash on October 25, 2002, Paul Wellstone explained why he was in the Senate: “I don’t represent the big oil companies, the big pharmaceuticals or the big insurance industry. They already have great representation in Washington. It’s the rest of the people that need representation.”
Paul was a happy warrior. He would say, ‘You have to do this job with a twinkle in your eye.’ He often made fun of himself. He used humor quite effectively. He built majorities because of those qualities that went beyond his political positions.
“At this sacred moment, we turn our thoughts to our loved ones who have now gone from life. We recall the joy of their companionship, we feel the pain of our loss. We know the tears that have filled our eyes. But we also know that our dear ones will never truly leave us as long as they are in our hearts and in our thoughts. By love are they remembered, and in memory, they live.”
