Former U.S. Senator Alan Simpson Dies Aged 93

Former U.S. Senator Alan Simpson passed away at the age of 93, according to a statement from his family and the Buffalo Bill Center of the West.

After battling to recover from a broken hip in December, the former Republican senator, who played for Wyoming and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2022, passed away early Friday.

“He was an uncommonly generous man. And I mean generous in an absolutely unconditional way. Giving of his time, giving of his energy—and he did it in politics and he did it in the family, forever,” Pete Simpson, his older brother, said in the statement.
