Today, Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. (GA-02) issued the following statement regarding the passing of former U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson of Georgia:
“Vivian and I were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our friend, Johnny Isakson. I had the privilege of working with him and sharing a friendship for many years — first as colleagues in the Georgia Legislature and then in Congress during his time in the U.S. House of Representatives as well as the U.S. Senate.
“Johnny was a champion for Georgia in Washington, D.C. We stood side-by-side in support of Georgia’s military bases, families, and veterans.
“Johnny knew how to work across the aisle for all Americans and our country is better today for his service. My thoughts and prayers go to his wife, Dianne, and his family. He was loved by many and will be greatly missed.”
