Tim Johnson’s unwavering dedication to the people of South Dakota was a privilege to witness during our time in the United States Senate together. He epitomized selflessness and never lost sight of his roots, always putting the well-being of South Dakotans at the forefront of his work.
Here are some of the key contributions and impactful initiatives Tim spearheaded during his tenure as a Senator:
- Tim’s relentless efforts to ensure access to clean drinking water across America, ranging from rural towns to inner cities and Tribal lands, showcased his commitment to public health.
- He played a pivotal role in directing crucial investments towards Indian Country and bolstering South Dakota’s overall development and infrastructure.
-
Tim’s pivotal vote in support of the Affordable Care Act significantly expanded healthcare access for millions of Americans and underscored his advocacy for veterans’ healthcare funding.
-
He championed the expansion of Medicaid in South Dakota, furthering his mission to enhance healthcare accessibility in the state.
-
Together, we collaborated on establishing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a testament to our shared commitment to safeguarding the financial well-being of hardworking Americans.
Throughout our time working together, my wife Jill and I developed a deep friendship with Tim and Barb. Our thoughts and prayers are with Barb, his children, grandchildren, and the people of South Dakota, who were fortunate to have been positively impacted by Tim’s legacy.
In remembrance of Tim Johnson, let us honor his memory and the profound impact he had on the lives of so many individuals in South Dakota and beyond. May his legacy continue to inspire generations to come.
