Rooted in the American West and members of the LDS church, the Udall family have become one of the strangest political families due to their political intermarrying and bipartisan nature.
Indeed, whilst the family has historically been associated with the Democrats, some cousins are Republicans, as their ancestors married into strong Republican political families and took their political stances.
Even today, members of the family find themselves on opposite sides of the Senate and other legislative bodies.
