United States Senator Paul Sarbanes (February 3, 1933 – December 6, 2020)

 

United States Senator Paul Sarbanes with Greek-Canadian composer Panagiotis Karousos

Paul Spyros Sarbanes (February 3, 1933 – December 6, 2020) was a American politician and attorney. A member of the Democratic Party from Maryland, he served as a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1971 to 1977 and as a United States Senator from 1977 to 2007. Sarbanes was the longest-serving senator in Maryland history until he was surpassed by Barbara Mikulski by a single day when her term ended on January 3, 2017.

Born in Salisbury, Maryland, Sarbanes was a graduate of Princeton University, Balliol College, Oxford, and Harvard Law School. Elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 1966, he went on to serve two terms in the Maryland House from 1967 to 1971. In 1970, he won a seat in the United States House of Representatives, representing Maryland's 4th and later Maryland's 3rd congressional district from 1971 to 1977.

In 1976, he ran for the United States Senate, defeating Republican incumbent John Glenn Beall, Jr. with 59% of the vote. Sarbanes was re-elected four times, each time receiving no less than 59% of the vote. He did not seek re-election in 2006, when he was succeeded by fellow Democrat Ben Cardin. Sarbanes was known for his low-key style, often shunning the limelight over his thirty-year Senate career. In 2002, Sarbanes co-sponsored the Sarbanes–Oxley Act, which is cited as his most-noted sponsored piece of legislation.

Πέθανε, σε ηλικία 87 ετών, ο πρώην γερουσιαστής του Μέριλαντ Πωλ Σαρμπάνης, ο οποίος υπερασπίστηκε με επιμονή τα θέματα του Ελληνισμού για 30 χρόνια στην αμερικανική Γερουσία. 

Την είδηση του θανάτου του την ανακοίνωσε ο γιός του και βουλευτής του Μέριλαντ Τζον Σαρμπάνης, λέγοντας: «ο πατέρας μου, ο γερουσιαστής Πωλ Σαρμπάνης, πέθανε ειρηνικά σήμερα το απόγευμα στη Βαλτιμόρη».

Ο Πολ Σαρμπάνης υπερασπίστηκε με επιμονή τα θέματα του ελληνισμού για 30 χρόνια στην αμερικανική Γερουσία. Είχε υπηρετήσει στην Επιτροπή Εξωτερικών Υποθέσεων της Γερουσίας, όντας μάλιστα ένας από τους πρωτεργάτες για την επιβολή του αμερικανικού εμπάργκο όπλων μετά την εισβολή στην Κύπρο.
