Louie R. Guenthner, Jr.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Louie R. Guenthner, Jr., (born 1945) was a Republican member of the Kentucky House of Representatives, having represented the 48th District in Jefferson County (Louisville) from 1973-1977. He was defeated in the 1977 primary election by Susan Stokes.

Guenthner was also the Republican nominee for the United States Senate from Kentucky in 1978; he lost to the incumbent Democrat Walter Huddleston. Six years later, Mitch McConnell, also of Jefferson County, upset Huddleston, who then became a Washington, D.C.,-based lobbyist.
