The Honorable Thing to Do Welker

Frank Church was running for the U.S. Senate in Idaho when he found out that his opponent had tried to blackmail one of McCarthy's biggest opponents, Senator Lester Holt from Wyoming who was a Democrat. Welker sought to have Holt's son charged with solicitation for homosexual solicitation by an undercover DC police officer. The case became kind of a political thriller and very dramatic entrance onto the Senate so even before he gets to the Senate Frank Church has quite an amazing life.
