Statement of U.S. Senator Herb Kohl on Congressman Dave Obey’s Retirement Announcement

5/5/10

  

Dave Obey is a great man and my good friend, and Wisconsin and our nation have been superbly well-served by his representation these many years.  He worked tirelessly for our state and to defend the ideals he believes in deeply:  peace, equality and opportunity.  We will feel his absence more than I can describe.  We applaud Dave for his commitment to public service and wish him the very best as he moves on to the next chapter of his life.
