State leaders from across the political spectrum reacted with shock and sadness to news of the death of Rep. Don Young on Friday.
“I think all Alaskans are having a tough time today,” he said.
“He went out serving, and I think that was important to him. It was kind of who he had become,” Micciche said. “And we’re going to miss him, for a lot of reasons not just personal, but I think we’ll miss some of the results that we’ve enjoyed in this state because of his hard work.”The Senate president said Young stood apart from other politicians.
Dillingham independent Rep. Bryce Edgmon said Young helped shape legislation that continues to affect the state, such as the Magnuson-Stevens Act, which overhauled how U.S. fisheries are managed.
