Former Oregon Sen. Bob Packwood has died. First elected to the Senate in 1968, Packwood was often considered a maverick by fellow Republicans — a fiscal conservative but social moderate, with Packwood a vocal supporter of abortion rights. Packwood often voted across party lines and considered running for president in 1980. He stepped down from the Senate in 1995 after multiple women accused him of making unwanted sexual advances. Packwood was 93.
