“WELL, MY TIME HAS COME.” Here’s the email Walter Mondale sent 300+ staffers and associates over the weekend. He noted how he looked forward to seeing his late wife, Joan, and late daughter, Eleanor. “Never has a public servant had a better group of people working at their side!” pic.twitter.com/bIRLBpSZde

Thank you Walter Mondale for your service to our country. I remember covering your convention when you chose a woman to be your running mate! You made history & for this reporter it was so inspiring. It was a gutsy and historic move. #WalterMondale https://t.co/O4BgulZ7Kq

#WalterMondale, a civil rights advocate and one of the authors of the Fair Housing Act of 1968, has passed. Our thoughts are with his loved ones as we reflect on his commitment to fighting segregation & discrimination. https://t.co/WK76DG3uue
