Our Gal In Washington Has Come A Long Way
Nancy Landon Kassebaum, nearly 54, a Kansas native and former ethics official, rose from Kansas politics to become the first woman elected to the U.S. Senate without a husband’s prior seat. The 1978 campaign pitted nine Republicans against Bill Roy, and she won by 10 points, later securing a larger Kansas vote total in 1984. Her career blends Washington leadership with a strong Kansas focus on education and economic renewal.
