| Description |
Church's first major race, in 1956, was for the Senate, and in it he faced both a former senator in the primary and an incumbent Republican senator in the general election. He only narrowly beat the former senator, Glen Taylor (a result Taylor bitterly disputed for the rest of his life), and in doing that had to run against the 'left' of his party.
