WASHINGTON, D.C. - Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) today released the following statement regarding the passing of former Senator Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.):

"Jon Kyl was a giant in the U.S. Senate and a Western conservative many of us looked up to. His decision to answer the call and return to the Senate after the passing of our dear friend John McCain was just one example of his deep affection and commitment to Arizona and the United States. He was our Whip, our conservative north star, and a valuable confidant."
