George Leonard Berry (September 12, 1882 – December 4, 1948) was president of the International Printing Pressmen and Assistants' Union of North America from 1907 to 1948 and a Democratic United States Senator from Tennessee from 1937 to 1938.[1]
Prior to his appointment as Senator, his closest brush with national electoral politics was narrowly coming in second for the vice presidential nomination at the Democratic National Convention in 1924, losing in the balloting to Nebraska Governor Charles W. Bryan, the brother of William Jennings Bryan.
