Rudman's Washington, DC firm, the Albright Stonebridge Group, says the senator died Monday night. The feisty New Hampshire republican went to the senate in 1981 with a reputation as a tough prosecutor. He was called upon by senate leaders and presidents of both parties to tackle tough assignments.
He's perhaps best known for his co-sponsorship of the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings budget cutting law. He left the senate in 1993, frustrated that the law never reached its potential because of political bickering.
