Charles E. Pickett

Charles Edgar Pickett (January 14, 1866 – July 20, 1930) was a two-term Republican U.S. Representative from Iowa's 3rd congressional district.

In 1908, Pickett was elected as a Republican to represent Iowa's 3rd congressional district the Sixty-first Congress.

Senator William S. Kenyon of Iowa resigned to accept a judgeship, forcing a special election.

Insurgent Smith W. Brookhart finished far ahead of Pickett and the others, by a great enough margin to avoid a convention fight.
