"My family and I now head down a path filled with moments of joy and increasing difficulties, Kyl said in a statement first reported by the Associated Press. I am grateful beyond expression for their love and support, in these coming days as in all the days of my life. Despite this diagnosis, I remain a very fortunate man."
"A proud University of Arizona alumnus, Sen. Kyl devoted more than two decades to public service representing Arizona in Congress, leaving a lasting impact on water policy, national defense and intelligence policy. His leadership, integrity and commitment to service reflect the highest ideals of public life, their statement reads. The University of Arizona has been honored to serve as the steward of Sen. Kyl's papers, preserving his legacy for future generations of scholars, students and public servants."
Jon Kyl, 83, is withdrawing from public life following a dementia diagnosis. Kyl served in Congress for 25 years, including a term as Senate minority whip. He left Congress in 2013 and briefly returned five years later to fill the seat vacated by John McCain. Kyl joined the lobbying firm Covington and Burling after leaving Congress and rejoined that firm in 2019 following his temporary Senate service. The University of Arizona highlighted his impacts on water policy, national defense, and intelligence policy and noted that it preserves his papers for future scholars.
