Last week, US Senator Mike Johanns delivered his farewell address from the Senate floor.
Johanns said he was honored to have served as a Senator for Nebraska and that he hoped he had done so in a manner that upheld high standards.
He called his time in office a “high privilege and solemn responsibility.” Johanns also talked about some of the memorable people he had met while in office.
"In my various roles I’ve been with world leaders, spiritual leaders, cultural icons, presidents, vice presidents, prime ministers, all memorable experiences to be sure. But that’s not the extraordinary people I speak about today. My real inspiration comes from ordinary people who I’ve observed and watched, do extraordinary things.”
US Senator Mike Johanns was elected to the US Senate in 2008 after serving as the Secretary of Agriculture to President George W. Bush.
Republican Ben Sasse takes over Johanns’ Senate seat in January 2015.
