During his time in the House, he served on the Judiciary Committee, Highways Committee, and as vice-chairman of the Education Committee. He earned a bachelor's degree in political science in 1979 from the University of Montana, while serving in the House. He was elected to a second term in 1978, and announced intentions to run for a third term in January 1980, but withdrew later that year in September, citing a desire to attend graduate school and join his wife in California where she would attend law school. [5] [6] He was succeeded by Alison Conn, who was 19 years old at the time of her election. [7]
