 Former Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell dies at 92

Former Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, a trailblazing lawmaker who served as both a Democrat and later as a Republican, has died at 92.

Campbell, the only Native American in Congress during his tenure, first won a House seat representing western Colorado in 1986 and served three terms before being elected to the Senate as a Democrat. He switched to the Republican Party in March 1995, shortly after Republicans gained control of Congress, citing a growing discomfort with his Democratic affiliation while emphasizing his commitment to an independent, moderate approach.

During his Senate career, Campbell chaired the Indian Affairs Committee and held senior appropriations roles, including leadership over the Treasury Department and Postal Service subcommittee. He also oversaw the Legislative Branch subcommittee amid the construction of the Capitol Visitor Center. A member of the Northern Cheyenne tribe, Campbell was a decorated Air Force veteran who served in Korea and competed as captain of the U.S. Olympic Judo Team in Tokyo in 1964.

Colorado lawmakers and colleagues remembered Campbell as a generous mentor and respected voice. Former Sen. Cory Gardner highlighted Campbell’s guidance and dedication to the state and nation, while Sen. John Hickenlooper praised his wisdom and acts of kindness. Campbell announced in 2004 that he would not seek reelection, marking the end of a distinguished career that left a lasting legacy for Colorado and Native American communities.
