Walter Mondale, former vice president, has died at age 93 By Caroline Linton Former Vice President Walter Mondale has died at 93
Former Vice President Walter Mondale died Monday at age 93, his family confirmed in a statement. Mondale, who was the 1984 Democratic nominee for president and also served as a longtime senator from Minnesota, died peacefully from natural causes, the family said. It is with profound sadness that we share news that our beloved dad passed away today in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Mondale s family said.
The son of a minister, Mondale, known as Fritz
, became one of Minnesota s most famous political figures in a state known for Democratic politicians. He was selected in 1964 to replace then-Vice President Hubert Humphrey, a mentor, in the Senate. In his 12 years in the U.S. Senate, Mondale followed in the footsteps of Humphrey, the lead author of the Civil Rights Act, in championing civil rights and other progressive causes.

As proud as we were of him leading the presidential ticket for Democrats in 1984, we know that our father s public policy legacy is so much more than that. The Fair Housing Act of 1968 was one of his proudest – and hardest fought – achievements. In the course of his years in the U.S. Senate, he understood the sense of reckoning that this country then faced, and was committed to that work alongside Hubert Humphrey, Josie Johnson, Roy Wilkins and so many others. We are grateful that he had the opportunity to see the emergence of another generation of civil rights reckoning in the past months.
