About Lowell P. Weicker, Jr., Governor, U.S. Senator
Lowell Weicker was an American politician who served as a U.S. Representative, U.S. Senator, and the 85th Governor of Connecticut. He unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for president in 1980. He was known as a Rockefeller Republican in Congress, causing conservative-leaning Republicans to endorse his opponent Joe Lieberman, a New Democrat, in the 1988 Senate election which he subsequently lost. Weicker later left the Republican Party, and became one of the few third-party candidates to be elected to a state governorship in the United States in recent years, doing so on the ticket of A Connecticut Party.
As of 2023, Weicker is the last person to have represented Connecticut in the U.S. Senate as a Republican. (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 3.0)
