John J. McDonough (mayor)

John J. McDonough (September 25, 1895 – February 27, 1962) was an American lawyer and Democratic politician who served as the 41st mayor of Saint Paul, Minnesota, from 1940 to 1948.

He worked as a lawyer and served in the Minnesota House of Representatives for five terms from 1925 to 1935.

While he was nonpartisan, he was well known for fighting prohibition and held a mixture of conservative legal beliefs but liberal political ones.

While in office in 1946 he suffered a stroke which left him largely paralyzed (though mentally alert) for the remainder of his life.
