PORTLAND, Ore. — Former U.S. Senator Bob Packwood died Saturday at age 93. Elected in 1968 at 36, he served in the Senate from 1969 and chaired the Finance Committee, sponsoring major tax legislation and advocating for abortion rights, environmental protection and other bipartisan causes before his career ended amid misconduct allegations. Portland and national reactions noted his legislative record and the 1995 Senate Ethics Committee findings that led to his resignation; outlets reported dozens of accusers and thousands of pages in the Ethics investigation. His family and a friend said he died in Southern California; his wife, Elaine Franklin, confirmed his death this week, and no further public arrangements were disclosed.
