Alan Simpson, a longtime Republican senator from Wyoming known for his moderate conservatism and bipartisan approach, has passed away at the age of 93. Simpson played a key role in crafting major U.S. immigration reform in 1986 and was known for his blunt, yet affable, political style.
He championed causes that were sometimes unpopular within his party, including abortion rights and LGBTQ+ equality. Throughout his career, he built strong relationships across party lines, earning a reputation as a pragmatic lawmaker.
His passing marks the end of an era of old-school Republicanism that valued compromise and dialogue.
