| Info | Charlton Havard Lyons, Sr. was a Shreveport oilman who in 1964 waged the first well-organized Republican bid for the Louisiana governorship since Reconstruction. Lyons also made a strong but losing bid for the United States House of Representatives in a special election in 1961. He is often considered the "father of the modern Republican Party in Louisiana."
