Ander Crenshaw Pays Tribute to Claude Kirk

Florida Republican U.S. Rep. Ander Crenshaw issued a statement on Wednesday regarding the death of his father-in-law, former Gov. Claude Kirk.

Claude Kirk was probably the most charismatic person I ever met, said Crenshaw. He could be hysterically funny and fearlessly bold, and he championed the environment, education, and diversity long before those issues were fashionable. He carried a bigger-than-life personality that often overshadowed his true genius and the lasting and positive changes he brought to the state of Florida. It is an honor to be his son-in-law.
