What senator, born in 1933, was elected for a third term in the 1988 election?
United States Senate election in Maryland, 1988 The 1988 United States Senate Election in Maryland was held on November 8, 1988. Incumbent Democratic Senator Paul Sarbanes was reelected to a third term.
United States Senate election in Illinois, 1978 The 1978 United States Senate election in Illinois took place on November 7, 1978. Incumbent Republican United States Senator Charles H. Percy ran for re-election to a third term in the United States Senate. Percy was opposed by Democratic nominee Alex Seith, an attorney who had been appointed to several local government positions. Though Percy had been expected to coast to re-election over Seith, a first-time candidate, the election quickly became competitive. In the last few days of the campaign, a desperate Percy ran a television advertisement that featured him apologizing and acknowledging that, "I got your message and you're right." Percy's last-ditch effort appeared to have paid off, as he was able to edge out Seith to win what would end up being his third and final term in the Senate.
