Steiger, Sam, 1929-2012
Samuel Steiger (March 10, 1929 – September 26, 2012) was an American rancher, journalist, and politician. A member of the Republican Party, he served in the U.S. House of Representatives from Arizona's 3rd congressional district from 1967 to 1977.
Born in New York City, he attended grade and high schools there before attending Cornell University and earning a B.S. degree from Colorado A&M University (now Colorado State University). Following college, Steiger was commissioned into the United States Army. Serving during the Korean War as a tank platoon leader, he was awarded the Silver Star and the Purple Heart for his actions. After leaving the army, Steiger settled in Prescott, Arizona. Challenged to run for office by friends, he was elected to the Arizona State Senate in 1960, serving two terms there. In 1964, he challenged incumbent George F. Senner, Jr. for Arizona's 3rd district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, narrowly losing. He then served as a correspondent on the Vietnam War before making a second, successful, run for the congressional seat in 1966.
