Schmitt-Hawley Resolution Honoring Christopher “Kit” Bond Passes Senate

WASHINGTON – Today, the resolution introduced by U.S. Senators Eric Schmitt (R-MO) and Josh Hawley (R-MO) honoring former United States Senator and Missouri Governor Christopher “Kit” Bond passed the Senate by unanimous consent:

“I was pleased to see the Senate unanimously pass our resolution honoring the life and legacy of Legendary Missouri Senator Christopher ‘Kit’ Bond. Kit was a force in the Show Me State leading with his trademark sense of humor and dedication to making our state the best in the nation. It is only right the U.S. Senate recognize my close friend and mentor on his tremendous career and public service to our nation,” said Senator Eric Schmitt.

“Kit Bond was a patriot. He led a life defined by dedication to his state and country, and he inspired countless people through his friendship and mentorship—including myself,” said Senator Hawley. “I’m grateful to my colleagues in the Senate for honoring his example of service.”

Bond served as the 47th and 49th Governor of Missouri, serving from 1973 to 1977 and again from 1981 to 1985. He later served four terms in the United States Senate from 1987 to 2011, where he advanced conservative values, championed infrastructure, fought for Missouri farmers and agricultural workers, and advocated for a strong national defense.
