Mo Udall (D-AZ) led a successful 30-year career in the U.S. House of Representatives with his dedication to the “three E’s – environment, economy and energy.” Although he represented a conservative Arizona district, he became a leading liberal voice calling for reforms to campaign practices and the seniority system in Congress. His peers and constituents found him to be “highly intelligent and immensely witty” and his resume reflected his diverse background, including time spent as a county attorney, University of Arizona law professor and a stint with the American Basketball Association’s Denver Nuggets. But it was Udall’s environmental activism that distinguished his service in Congress.
Morris King Udall was born on June 12, 1922, in St. Johns, Arizona, into a large Mormon family. Growing up, Udall was surrounded by public servants. His parents were involved in public and civic service activities. His father, Levi S. Udall, was the Chief Justice of the Arizona Supreme Court, and his mother, Louise “Lee” Udall, was deeply involved with issues concerning Native Americans. She later published Me and Mine, a book about the life of a Hopi Indian woman.
