## Resource

Former Arizona Senator Jon Kyl, a quiet powerhouse in Washington who shaped water policy and tribal rights for nearly three decades, has died at 84. Diagnosed with dementia and stepping back from public life in late 2025, Kyl’s legacy includes landmark tribal water settlements and guiding Kavanaugh’s confirmation — all while quietly studying bills on flights. From Reagan to Trump, he was a behind-the-scenes architect of Western policy, hailed by colleagues as a tireless workhorse and devoted statesman.
