WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) he has been inspired by his predecessor after participating in the ceremony yesterday  presenting Sen. Bob Dole with the Congressional Gold Medal to honor his service to the nation as a solder, legislator and statesman.

“I have long been inspired by Sen. Dole’s work feeding the hungry – it is one of the reasons I’ve worked on global hunger during my time in the Senate and was a co-creator of the Senate Hunger Caucus, Sen. Moran said. “I also have the privilege of occupying the same desk Sen. Dole used on the Senate floor during his time here, and each day I am reminded and motivated by his example.”
