He was a candidate for mayor of Chicago in 1959.[1] Sheehan was well respected by a number of prominent Democrats of his era, including Senator Robert F. Kennedy. He was responsible for mentoring 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, 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, Sheehan served with some the most famous Americans of the 20th Century, including John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford. Sheehan made the statement that the United States should consider annexation of Canada during the start of the Cold War, which received notoriety in the USSR propaganda entitled "Yankees in Canada", which portrayed America as expansionist.{{citation needed |date=December 2013}} References1. ^Biographical Directory of the US Congress {{S-start}}{{s-par|us-hs}}{{USRepSuccessionBox| state=Illinois | district=11 | before=Chester Chesney | after=Roman Pucinski | years=1951-1959}}{{s-end}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Sheehan, Timothy P.}}{{Illinois-politician-stub}} 8 : 1909 births|2000 deaths|Politicians from Chicago|American people of Irish descent|Members of the United States House of Representatives from Illinois|Illinois Republicans|Republican Party members of the United States House of Representatives|20th-century American politicians |
