Former Minnesota Congressman Rick Nolan dies at age 80
https://www.mprnews.org/story/2024/10/18/former-minnesota-congressman-rick-nolan-diesFormer U.S. Rep. Rick Nolan, who represented two of Minnesota’s congressional districts in Washington more than 30 years apart, has died at the age of 80.
The Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party confirmed Nolan’s death in a statement, calling him a “champion for the Northland who fought fiercely to protect working people from corporate interests.”
The date and cause of Nolan’s death were not immediately announced.
“From Ely to Duluth, he was an ambassador for the DFL creed that ‘we all do better when we all do better.’ Our thoughts are with his family and all who came to know and love this dedicated public servant,” the DFL statement read.
