John William Carlin, an American Democratic Party member, (born March 5, 1940 in Salina, Kansas), served as Governor of Kansas from 1979 to 1987. In 1990, he lost the Democratic nomination for Governor to then-State Treasurer Joan Finney. He also ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1994. Carlin also served as the Archivist of the United States from 1995 to 2005, in Washington, D.C.. After a dispute about Executive Order 13233, Carlin's term as Archivist was not renewed [1] by the Bush Administration.
After his retirement he returned to Manhattan, Kansas, to teach at Kansas State University.
Carlin was raised in the Saline County, Kansas community of Smolan, attended Kansas State University, and earned a degree in dairy science. A quiet, mild mannered dairy farmer, he ran for a seat in the Kansas House of Representatives, in 1970.
