She was elected to the United States Senate in a nonpartisan special election, defeating Democratic incumbent Bob Krueger and becoming the first female senator in Texas history. "I'm a Democrat. I think Lucia is a smart gal and all that, but I haven't heard a single reaso why we shouldn't send Magaret (Chase Smith) back to the Senate." (p 235).
