Over four terms together in the Senate, I had a front row seat as one of the Senate’s most relentless and effective legislators built coalitions and made a difference – from agricultural innovation to intelligence oversight. Kit wore his devotion to his fellow Missourians on his sleeve, and made no secret of his belief in the importance of American leadership abroad. “I will miss Kit’s uncompromising advocacy for investment in America’s military strength and engagement with allies and partners in critical regions. Considering the challenges we face today, his longtime focus on southeast Asia was prescient. “But most of all, Elaine and I will miss Kit’s warm friendship. And today, our prayers and deepest sympathies are with Kit’s wife, Linda, his son, Sam, and his entire family as they say farewell to a great and good man.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:20:29Z |
