Senator Al Franken

Al Franken has just taken the oath of office. He’s now a fully fledged United States Senator, holding the very seat once held by Paul Wellstone, Eugene McCarthy, and Hubert Humphrey.

Not bad for a working class kid.




In Iraq



Incidentally, he will sit at Paul Wellstone’s desk.

Congratulations to you, to your family, and to your staff, Al.

We're all so proud of you

In Remembrance of Paul Wellstone
