John Claggett “Jack” Danforth is a former United States Ambassador to the United Nations and former Republican United States Senator from Missouri. He is also an ordained Episcopalian priest.

When Danforth entered politics, Missouri was a reliably Democratic state. Prior to Symington, Danforth’s seat in the Senate was held by Democratic Party heavyweights Thomas Hart Benton and Harry S. Truman. During the 1991 Senate hearings regarding U.S. Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, Danforth used his clout to aid Thomas?s confirmation.
