Stewart Udall served three terms as a Representative in Arizona before becoming Secretary of the Interior. Stewart Udall’s brother, and Tom Udall’s uncle, Morris Udall was also a long-time Representative from Arizona. Morris Udall succeeded his brother Stewart Udall; Morris Udall’s son, and Tom Udall’s cousin, Mark Udall is a Senator from Colorado.
