Collection Overview
- Biography / History
- Jesse Kitchen Lewis (1900-1962) was a Kentucky lawyer and politician. Born in Grayson, Kentucky, he received degrees from Transylvania University in 1924, from Columbia University in 1928, and his L.L.B. from the University of Kentucky in 1931. He served as Assistant Attorney General for the commonwealth of Kentucky from 1937-1944 and a member of the Kentucky Public Services Commission from 1946-1948. He was an unsuccessful political candidate for: Circuit Judge in 1939 and 1945; Attorney General in 1951, and Governor on the Free Citizens ticket in 1955. Throughout his life, Lewis was active in many "good government" cases and with leagues opposing political corruption in government. He was best known for the disbarment case against Ulie J. Howard in 1947, the Floyd County Good Government League, the Harlan County Good Government League, the Carter County League for Good Government, and for his work with the Newport Ministerial Association against gambling.
