Summary
Henry W. Blair served successful terms in the New Hampshire House of Representatives and Senate. He was then elected to Congress where he served two terms. In all of these races, he proved to be an effective campaigner and a supporter of reform legislation. In 1879, Blair was elected to the United States Senate. He quickly became chairman of the Education and Labor Committee. In this position, he sponsored a number of reform initiatives. Among them were greater recognition of organized labor, greater legal and political rights for women, and Prohibition. His most widely recognized contribution was his Education Bill.
