Frank Church was elected to the Senate in 1957. Like [[George McGovern]], he was a liberal politician coming from a conservative state. Originally getting into conflict with then [[Senate Majority Leader]] [[Lyndon Baines Johnson]], Church was comforted by [[Senate Minority Leader]] [[William F. Knowland]]. He was known in the Senate for his environmental causes, as he supported and sponsored multiple pieces of [[environmental]] legislation throughout his career, such as a 1964 law that defined wilderness in the United States and a 1968 law that created the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
