Timothy P. Sheehan

Timothy Patrick Sheehan (1909-2000) of Chicago was a U.S. Representative from Illinois from 1951 to 1959. He was a candidate for mayor of Chicago in 1959.

Mr. Sheehan was well respected by a number of prominent Democrats of his era, including Senator Robert F. Kennedy. He was responsible for menotring a number of the current members of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Despite losing a lop-sided election to Mayor Daley in 1959, Mr. Sheehan remained friendly with his Democrat counterpart for years to come. Mayor Daley once stated, out respect for the Illinois Congressman, "he should have been a Democrat."

During his tenure in the House of Representatives, Mr. Sheehan served with some the most famous Americans of the 20th Century, including John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford.
