Iconic Minnesota politician Walter Mondale died Monday, April 19, and people on both sides of the aisle mourned.
The nation knew Walter Mondale as President Jimmy Carterâs vice president 1976-80 and the Democratic challenger to Ronald Reagan in 1984. Japan knew Mondale as U.S. ambassador in 1993. Minnesota history books list him as attorney general 1960-64 and U.S. senator 1964-76.Â
Here is how some people, including those who hold a few of those offices now, expressed their sorrow at Mondaleâs death of natural causes at 93.
Amy Klobuchar, U.S. senator
âA ministerâs child and son of Ceylon, Minnesota, Vice President Mondale was a true public servant in every sense of the word. He was someone who always treated people with dignity and respect, and I was privileged to call him my friend and mentor. Interning in his office as a college student was a life-changing experience â I left that job thinking that someday I myself could run for office.Â
