Former Senate Leader, Presidential Candidate Bob Dole Dies At 98

He shaped tax policy, foreign policy and rights for the disabled, and devoted his later years to the cause of wounded veterans.

Bob Dole, one of the most towering political figures of the last century is being remembered for a life of service that went well beyond his conservative politics. 

"At every stage of my life, I've been a witness to the greatness of this country," he said.

Dole got his start in politics in his home state of Kansas in 1951. He was later elected to the House of Representatives and eventually the Senate, where he spent nearly 30 years.
