Former GOP Presidential candidate Jack Kemp has died at 73.

His spokeswoman Bona Park and longtime friend and former campaign adviser Edwin J. Feulner confirmed that Kemp died after a lengthy illness.

Kemp had announced in January 2009 that he had been diagnosed with cancer. He said he was undergoing tests but gave no other detail.

I got to shake Jack Kemp’s hand when he visited and spoke in Orangeburg, SC many years ago. I was truly impressed by vision and passion for America.

My prayers are with his family, friends, and many admirers.
