Minnick statement on the death of Bruce Sweeney

Idaho Congressman Walt Minnick released the following statement:

“Bruce Sweeney was well-known for his leadership – in the military, on the school board, as a runner, track coach and official, as a legislator and as a member of the Idaho Transportation Board,” Idaho Congressman Walt Minnick said. “Although his leadership reached far beyond his home, Bruce’s pragmatic, bipartisan approach was rooted in the values of central Idaho. His deep commitment to the community of Lewiston is a reminder that time in elected office is but a stepping stone to time spent in service as a citizen. I am proud to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.”
