The winner of the 1976 United States Senate election in Missouri was what kind of priest?
United States Senate election in Missouri, 1976 The 1976 United States Senate election in Missouri took place on November 2, 1976. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Stuart Symington decided to retire, instead of seeking a fifth term. Republican John Danforth won the open seat, defeating Democrat Warren Hearnes. (Jerry Litton had won the Democratic nomination earlier, but was killed in a plane crash, and Hearnes was chosen by the party committee.)
Joseph A. Suneg Joseph A. Suneg (11 October 1897 – 21 May 1989) was ordained a priest of the Catholic Church in the United States and later elevated to Domestic Prelate by Pope Pius XII in official recognition of his valuable service to the growth of the Catholic Church in Omaha. He established the landmark 6.5 acre St. Margaret Mary parish campus in the heart of Omaha adjacent to University of Nebraska at Omaha, Archdiocese of Omaha Chancery, and Memorial Park (Omaha) on U.S. Route 6 (Dodge Street). His only assignment lasted forty-six years—the entirety of his active priestly career.
