Liberal Anti-Nixon Republican Pete McCloskey dies age 96

[Born to Slay. Forced to Work.]

I had no idea he was still alive until now. Not a lot of '70's figures still live.

I had forgotten the man was alive until this thread was opened. Who are the last figures that served in congress during that decade, barring the current president?

There are still two candidates from the 1972 democratic primary alive today, Walter Fauntroy and Fred Harris. I can't imagine any 60s candidates have lasted this long.

According to Wikipedia Daniel J. Evans ran as a “favorite son” in the 1968 primaries and he’s still alive at 98
