George Docking (February 23, 1904 – January 20, 1964) was an American businessman who served as the 35th governor of Kansas (1957–1961).
Docking changed party affiliations when Franklin D. Roosevelt was first nominated for president.
[2] In the election of 1960 he lost to Republican candidate John Anderson, Jr. perhaps in part because of his stance on the death penalty.
His tenure was marked by his battles with a Republican controlled legislature, and a three-year dispute with the University of Kansas Chancellor Franklin Murphy was settled, resulting in Murphy's resignation.
In 1961, President John F. Kennedy appointed him Director of the Export-Import Bank in Washington, D.C.[2] He served in that office until his death.
