- A newspaper article discussing: In 1979, C.L. "Butch" Otter initially sought the Senate seat but later endorsed U.S. Rep. Steve Symms, suggesting he would run for the First District congressional seat instead. Symms, while confident in his House position, is considering a Senate run, aware of the risks and the historical challenge of unseating an incumbent. The potential Senate race between Symms and Frank Church is expected to be one of the most expensive in Idaho’s history.
