Bob Graham, a former US senator and two-term Democratic governor of the state of Florida, has died aged 87, his family announced Tuesday.
Graham held elected office for almost four decades, beginning as a Florida state representative in 1966 until 2005 when he retired from the US Senate after his third term in office.
Graham “devoted his life to the betterment of the world around him,” said a statement by the family, posted on his daughter Gwen Graham’s X account.
