In 1993, Klobuchar married John Bessler, a private practice attorney and a professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law. They have a daughter who graduated from Yale University and worked as a legislative director for New York councilman Keith Powers.
On March 23, Amy Klobuchar shared that her husband, John Bessler, has contracted the novel coronavirus, tested positive for the disease, and was being hospitalized. In a Medium post, the Senator revealed that he was put on oxygen, but not a ventilator.
I hope he will be home soon. I know so many Americans are going through this and so much worse right now. So I hope and pray for you, just as I hope you will do for my husband. Meanwhile, I am working in the Senate to get help to the American people.”
