Wilder eyes 1977 governor bid and 1978 Senate run
Virginia State Senator Lawrence Wilder says he could envision a 1977 bid for governor and possibly a 1978 run for the U.S. Senate seat, though he notes deep prejudices and a slow path to political equity for blacks in Virginia. He stresses no active plan, cites Byrd and Scott races, and questions a general shift from the status quo.
