WASHINGTON - Jack Kemp, the ex-quarterback (Buffalo Bills), congressman, one-time vice-presidential nominee (1996) and self-described "bleeding-heart conservative" died Saturday.
His spokeswoman Bona Park and longtime friend and former campaign adviser Edwin J. Feulner confirmed that Kemp died after a lengthy illness.
Kemp had announced in January 2009 that he had been diagnosed with cancer. He said he was undergoing tests but gave no other detail.
