Everything about Frances Farenthold totally explained
Frances Tarlton Farenthold (born
1926), also known as "Sissy," is an American
Democratic politician, attorney and educator, who was the second woman whose name was put into nomination for
Vice President of the United States at a major party's
nominating convention (the first was
Lena Springs, who wasn't a public official and whose
1924 nomination was a gesture of affection). At the
Democratic National Convention in
1972, she came in second to the presidential nominee's choice,
U.S. Senator Thomas F. Eagleton of
Missouri. She garnered more delegate votes (404.04) than then-U.S. Senator
Mike Gravel of
Alaska, Senator
Birch Bayh of
Indiana, and future
U.S. President Jimmy Carter of
Georgia, among others.
Farenthold served as a member of the
Texas House of Representatives from 1968 through 1972. In both 1972 and 1974, she unsuccessfully sought the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Texas, having been defeated both times by
Dolph Briscoe of
Uvalde, a more
conservative Democrat. She later served as president of
Wells College in
Aurora, New York, from 1976-1980.
