JOHN MELCHER
The Montana Senator signs a ticket for the visitor's gallery at the United States Senate Chamber
Pass signed: "John Melcher," in black felt tip, 4x2¾.  Pass admitting entrance to the visitor's gallery at the United States Senate Chamber for the 95th congress, 2nd session. John Melcher (b. 1924) served in the 76th Infantry Division in Europe during WWII. Wounded in battle, Melcher received a Purple Heart, Combat Infantryman's Badge, and the Bronze Star for his bravery. After the war, he completed his studies at Iowa State University and later became the mayor of Forsyth, Montana (1955). In 1962, Melcher was elected to the Montana state senate and five years later, he was elected to the United States House of Representatives as a Democrat, being reelected three times. After eight years in the House, he was elected to the United States Senate in 1977, retaining the seat for a total of two terms until 1989. Criticized by election opponents as too liberal for Montana, Melcher's final run for the seat was an unsuccessful one, and he retired from politics at the end of his term in 1989.Lightly toned. Ink note (unknown hand) on verso. Otherwise, fine condition.
