USA Judo mourns the passing of 1964 Olympian and former U.S. Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell (far right in photo), a historic figure in Colorado and American politics.

In addition to being a member of the inaugural USA Olympic Judo Team in 1964, Senator Campbell devoted his life to public service, representing Colorado in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate, and earning distinction as one of the few Native Americans ever elected to the United States Senate. A decorated Air Force veteran, he was a steadfast advocate for Native American communities and a respected voice for Colorado on the national stage.

We offer our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all who were touched by his extraordinary life and service. Senator Campbell’s enduring legacy of independence, leadership, and commitment to others will be remembered with deep respect and gratitude.
