Gene Snyder

Marion Eugene Snyder (January 26, 1928 – February 16, 2007[1]) was an American politician elected as a Republican to the United States House of Representatives from two different districts in his native Kentucky.

Snyder was elected to the House of Representatives from Kentucky's 3rd congressional district, based in Louisville, in 1962.

[3] A Barry M. Goldwater supporter, he was unseated in 1964 after only one term by former Louisville Mayor Charlie Farnsley, amid the gigantic Lyndon B. Johnson-Hubert H. Humphrey Democratic landslide that year.

Snyder then moved to nearby Oldham County, which was in the neighboring 4th District, and prepared for a run against 11-term incumbent Frank Chelf in 1966.

[5] The federal courthouse building in Louisville and a general aviation airport near Falmouth, Kentucky (K62) also bear his name.
