Former U.S. Senator David Durenberger has died at age 88
Obit David Durenberger
Durenberger — a former executive secretary to GOP Gov. Harold LeVander, former corporate attorney and former captain in the U.S. Army Reserve — won a U.S. Senate seat in 1978. He served three terms and championed health care reform. He pushed proposals to expand Medicare benefits, protect rights for disabled people, including the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act, and to promote gender equity.
Democratic Gov. Tim Walz will give a eulogy at Durenberger's funeral next Tuesday at the former senator's alma mater, St. John’s University in Collegeville, Horner said. When he ran for office in the late 1970′s, his sons helped stuff envelopes at their dining room table, joined parades and helped on the campaign.As he rose through the Senate, Durenberger went through troubled periods in his personal life. He separated from his wife, Penny, in 1985 -- a personal agony he openly discussed with several reporters at the time. He married Susan Foote, a former member of his staff, in 1995.
But Senator Durenberger's career took a downturn in 1990. He was unanimously censured by the Senate following an Ethics Committee investigation into payments he received for book royalties and federal reimbursements for stays in a Minneapolis condo. In 1995, Durenberger also pleaded guilty to five misdemeanor charges related to the condo payments.
