CHISHOLM, MN (KDAL/CBS-3) – Long-time Iron Range senator David Tomassoni passed away Thursday night following a battle with ALS.
Tomassoni was an independent from Chisholm, who spent time in both the Minnesota House and the Senate over the past three decades.
State Senator Tom Bakk says Tomassoni was a true champion for the Iron Range and has left an enormous legacy.
Tomassoni was diagnosed with ALS last summer and helped to pass a bill in the Minnesota Legislature that provide grants for ALS research and support for ALS caregivers.
Governor Walz signed those bills into law in March.
