Spessard Holland - As Senator
Holland was elected in 1946 to the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Charles O. Andrews. Following the death of Senator Andrews in September 1946, Holland assumed his seat in the U.S. Senate. Re-elected in 1952, Holland defeated former U.S. Senator (and later U.S. Representative) Claude Pepper in the 1958 Democratic primary. Returned to the U.S. Senate in 1958, Holland was re-elected to a fourth and final term in 1964, defeating Republican Claude Kirk.
At age 77, Holland announced in November 1969 that he would not seek re-election in 1970. Holland subsequently campaigned for fellow Polk County resident Lawton Chiles in Chiles' successful bid for the U.S. Senate.
Holland, along with most Senators from the states of the former Confederacy, signed the Southern Manifesto criticizing the Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education. At the same time, Holland sponsored the amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibiting the poll tax.
