Biographical History

Educator, U.S. representative from Minnesota, U.S. senator from Minnesota, and author.

Eugene J. McCarthy served as a U.S. Congress member (Democratic Farmer-Labor) from Minnesota's fourth district (1949-1958) and as U.S. senator from Minnesota (1959-1970).

He sought the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in 1968 against Lyndon B. Johnson on an anti-Vietnam war platform. His strong showing caused Lyndon B.

McCarthy was a founder of the Democratic Study Group.
