28 A BRIEF PERSONAL HISTORY

In 1946, Morris Udall returned to the University of Arizona and earned a law degree. He obtained a pilot’s license, played professional basketball for the National Basketball League’s (NBL) Denver Nuggets and, after scoring highest on the state bar exam, was admitted to the Arizona Bar and began practicing law with his brother Stewart.

He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1961 in a special election to replace his brother Stewart, who left the position to become President John F. Kennedy’s secretary of the Interior.

Petitioned by many of his colleagues in the House of Representatives, Morris Udall campaigned for the 1976 Democratic presidential nomination. He finished second to Jimmy Carter, who was elected president. In 1977, Morris Udall was named chairman of the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs (now the Committee on Resources), serving until 1991.

Morris Udall was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, a neurological disorder impairing movement and speech, in 1979. In May 1991, he resigned from Congress for health reasons, and he died on December 12, 1998.
