SEN-TX: Beto O'Rourke wins 2018 Prize for Civility in Public Life Award
The prize has been awarded annually since 2012 to "honor two public figures, one liberal and one conservative, who argue passionately but with civility for their beliefs." The honored pairs include Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia, Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. John McCain, and Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Lindsay Graham.
In 2015, the prize went to the former police chief in Montgomery, Ala., who gave his badge to Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., as an act of contrition for his department's abuse of Lewis and other civil rights demonstrators in 1961.
