Albert Conrad "Al" Ullman, the U.S. representative from Oregon’s Second Congressional District from 1957 to 1980, was one of the state’s most effective elected officials in the post-World War II era. Initially a New Dealer in the mold of President Franklin Roosevelt, he gained a reputation as a socially liberal but fiscally conservative Democrat in a constituency made up largely of conservative eastern and central Oregonians. As a low-profile politician, Ullman was often overshadowed by the headline-grabbing activities and pronouncements of fellow politicians like Wayne Morse, Mark Hatfield, and Tom McCall.

Born on March 9, 1914, in Great Falls, Montana, Ullman earned a bachelor’s degree from Whitman College in 1935 and obtained a master’s degree in public law from Columbia University in 1939.

After the war, he settled in Baker (now Baker City) and worked as a builder and real estate developer.
