Gwen Graham Sends a Shout Out to Bob Dole

U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham, D-Fla., showcased the kind words sent her way from former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, the Republican presidential candidate who lost to President Bill Clinton in the 1996 election. Dole served in the Senate with Grahams father former U.S. Sen. and Gov. Bob Graham, D-Fla., for almost a decade.

On this weekend's Honor Flight, we met Senator Bob Dole, who served our nation in World War II and then in the US Senate, Graham emailed supporters on Monday. During his term, he worked across the aisle to get things done. And folks, we could use more elected officials like him today.

Graham showcased a photo of her with Dole and a quote from the former presidential candidate.

When I served with your father, we werent Democrats or Republicans--we were friends, Dole told Graham.
