Warren Rudman Dead: Former Senator Dies At Age 82

Former New Hampshire Senator Warren Rudman has died at the age of 82.

Rudman, a Republican who began his political career as New Hampshire Attorney General, died overnight, the Union Leader reports.

The AP reports:

Rudman's Washington, D.C., firm, the Albright Stonebridge Group, says he died Monday night.

The feisty New Hampshire Republican went to the Senate in 1981 with a reputation as a tough prosecutor. He was called upon by Senate leaders and presidents of both parties to tackle tough assignments.

He is perhaps best known for his co-sponsorship of the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings budget cutting law. He left the Senate in 1993, frustrated that the law never reached its potential because of Congress.

Before his election to the Senate, he served six years as New Hampshire's attorney general.
