Thursday, June 26, 2003 - The passing of former US Senator Strom Thurmond

We extend our condolences to the family and friends of former US Senator Strom
Thurmond of South Carolina who passed away today at the age of 100. Senator
Thurmond served in the South Carolina Legislature, was elected Governor of
South Carolina, and served in the US Senate from 1954 until his retirement in
2003. He is the only man to have served in the Senate beyond his 100th
Birthday (he had turned 100 only a month before his last term in office
expired in January 2003).

Senate History: First elected as an Independent candidate to the Class 2 seat
from South Carolina: 1954 (the only United States Senator ever elected solely
by write-in vote: the write-in campaign was caused by Thurmond's failure to
win endorsement by the state Democratic Party [Senator Burnet R. Maybank
(Democrat) had died: 1 September 1954 but had been previously renominated for
re-election to the seat in the 13 July 1954 primary; Thurmond's campaign was a
protest against the Party hierarchy, and not the Party rank-and-file,
replacing Maybank as the Democrat nominee]); resigned 4 April 1956 in order to
contest for the Democrat nomination for the Senate in a Special Primary that
Summer; elected as a Democrat to finish out the term in a Special Election
held to fill vacancy caused by his own resignation: 1956; re-elected as a
Democrat: 1960; changed Party affiliation to Republican: 16 September 1964;
re-elected as a Republican: 1966, 1972, 1978, 1984, 1990, 1996.
