Senate Remembers Michael Beaver

‘The Senate’s prayers are with all of Michael’s family and friends at this immensely difficult hour.’

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) delivered the following remarks today on the Senate floor in memory of Assistant Senate Parliamentarian, Michael Beaver:

“First, I’d like to pay respects to a member of the Senate family who tragically passed away last week. Michael Beaver was a talented attorney who served as the Senate’s Assistant Parliamentarian. That followed service as Deputy Legislative Counsel for the state of California.

“Michael was just 39 years old. He leaves behind his wife Gilda, his two beloved sons Bradley and Connor, his parents, and an extended family that mourns his loss. They’re joined by Michael’s colleagues here on the Senate staff, in the Secretary’s Office and floor staff on both sides of the aisle, and throughout the institution.

“The Senate’s prayers are with all of Michael’s family and friends at this immensely difficult hour.”
