July 12th, 2026Heinrich Statement on Passing of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) released the following statement on the passing of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.): “Lindsey Graham fought hard for the things he believed in. And while we disagreed on a lot, he was always willing to sit down, hear me out, and work across the aisle when we could, getting things done that mattered — from visiting international health care clinics together to negotiating our Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to standing up the U.S. Foundation for International Conservation. Lindsey understood that working to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, making our communities safer, and protecting the natural world shouldn’t be partisan causes. That kind of relationship-building is rarer in the Senate than it should be, and it’s part of what made him effective. “Julie and I are keeping his family, his staff, and the people of South Carolina in our thoughts.”
