St. Paul- State House Republican Leader Kurt Daudt (R-Crown) issued the following statement on the passing of Crown resident and former U.S. Senator Rod Grams, who passed away at his home late Tuesday evening.
"Senator Grams was not just a friend and neighbor, but he was a dedicated public servant that will be greatly missed in Minnesota. He was a strong leader for our state, and a mentor to me and many other candidates, legislators and public officials over the years.
"Senator Grams lived just a mile from my farm in Crown -- this is a great loss for our community as well. My thoughts and prayers go out to Senator Grams and his family."
