Statement from Sam Yoon on Senator Kennedy’s Passing

August 26, 2009

“Out of respect for the passing of Senator Kennedy I have suspended campaigning today.

Senator Kennedy was a public servant of the highest order who dedicated his life to justice for all. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this time.

His memory lives on in the millions of Americans who benefit every day from his work as a United States Senator.

For so many of us in the Commonwealth and throughout this country, our cares were his concern. From civil rights and health care, he used all his passion and clout to open doors for the common man and common woman. He advocated, he demonstrated, he negotiated and he inspired. His voice will forever echo in our minds and hearts.

We can honor his memory and his commitment to public service by continuing to fight for the ideals and values that he devoted his life to.”
