“An institution in the House” Don Young honored by Democrats, Republicans during Lying in State
Both sides of the aisle from both chambers of Congress poured into Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol to honor the late Dean of the House, who was given a Lying in State ceremony, joining an exclusive group in US history.
Pelosi honored the late House giant who sponsored hundreds of bills during his time on Capitol Hill, and worked across the political spectrum to get them passed. Pelosi said if a lawmaker was willing to help Alaska, Young would work with them. The Speaker and Sen. Dan Sullivan mentioned that 10 presidents signed bills into law spearheaded by Young. Both of Alaska’s senators Sullivan and Lisa Murkowski took to the podium to heap praise on the relentless representative from their beloved state.
