## Resource

Former U.S. Senator Jon Kyl, a quiet powerhouse in Arizona politics who shaped water policy and national security for decades, has died at 84. Known for his behind-the-scenes mastery, he helped broker critical water deals like the 2004 Gila River settlement and guided Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination. After stepping away from public life in 2025 due to dementia, he briefly returned to the Senate in 2018 to honor John McCain before leaving again — a career defined by service, grit, and unwavering commitment to his state and country.
