Lautenberg is a four-term senator, and is one of the highest-ranking Democrats on the Government Affairs Committee, which oversees the Department of Homeland Security. He also sits on the Commerce Committee, which oversees transportation.
Lautenberg worked on mass-transit systems in his native New Jersey, and is a strong proponent of a monorail to service Colorado's Rocky Mountain resort region.
"He has been on the bandwagon to find a way to make that fly in this part of the country," said his son, Josh Lautenberg, who lives in Edwards.
