About Frank Moss

Frank Edward "Ted" Moss was an American lawyer and politician. From 1959 to 1977 he served as a United States senator from Utah, and as of 2025 was the last Democrat to do so. The Republican vote was split in the general election, largely over local dissatisfaction with Watkins's having chaired the committee that censured Senator Joseph McCarthy, and Moss won election with less than 40 percent of the vote. Moss became an expert on water issues and wrote The Water Crisis in 1967.
