Guy Cordon

Guy F. Cordon (April 24, 1890 – June 8, 1969) was an American author, politician and lawyer from the state of Oregon.

A native of Texas, he served in the Army during World War I and later was the district attorney of Douglas County in Southern Oregon.

Cordon was elected to a full six-year term in 1948, receiving 60% of the vote against Democrat Manley J. Wilson.

In 1954, a bad year for Republicans, Cordon was defeated for re-election by Democrat Richard L. Neuberger by a margin of 50.2% to 49.8%.
