- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about Culver Kidd. During a legislative career that lasted forty-two years, Culver Kidd was renowned as one of the shrewdest politicians in the state capitol, first as a member of the House of Representatives and later as a state senator. Kidd was the consummate dealmaker who wore colorful costumes (he once came to the senate floor dressed in a toga), introduced more bills than anyone else, and acquired the nickname "the Silver Fox" as a tribute both to his silver hair and his political cunning. He also survived several legal problems in the course of his long tenure in elective office.
