Frank Lautenberg Net Worth

Following a brief hiatus, Lautenberg accepted the plea from his party to run for the post again after Robert Torricelli dropped out of the 2002 Senate race due to scandal. Thus, he was re-elected to the Senate where he served from 2003 until his death in June 2013. Frank R. Lautenberg was the last serving veteran of World War II in the U.S. Senate and he has been called “the last of the New Deal liberals”. He would be forever remembered for his legislative struggles against drunk driving, and his support of spending for Amtrak and urban public transportation, as well as for his efforts for tougher environmental regulations, greater consumer protections and harsher investigations of wrongdoing by Wall Street.
