Byron Plans Active Campaign in 1980 Race
Rep Beverly Byron, four months in office, says she will run an active campaign for the 1980 Congressional election. She has built a $25,000 campaign fund from two fundraisers, including a $20,000 Washington event hosted by House Speaker ONeill and Majority Leader Wright and a $5,000 mountain fundraiser. Local Republicans acknowledge her strength but consider fielding a candidate, while party leaders deem any challenger unlikely. Senator Cushwa warns opponents they face a tough race against Byron.
