About John Y. Brown, Sr.

John Young Brown was an American attorney and Democratic Party politician from Kentucky. He served six nonconsecutive, two-year terms in the Kentucky House of Representatives between 1930 and 1968, including one as speaker of the House in 1932 and one as majority floor leader in 1966. He also served one term in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1933 to 1935 and was repeatedly an unsuccessful candidate for United States Senate and governor of Kentucky. He ran seven campaigns for the Senate, losing the general election twice and the Democratic primary five times. His son, John Y. Brown Jr., purchased KFC from Harlan Sanders and was governor of Kentucky from 1979 to 1983.
