Henry Jarvis Raymond (January 24, 1820 – June 18, 1869) was an American journalist, newspaper publisher, and politician who co-founded both the Republican Party and The New York Times.
He was a member of the New York State Assembly, the lieutenant governor of New York, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, and elected to the US House of Representatives. For his contribution towards the formation of the Republican Party,[1] Raymond has sometimes been called the "godfather of the Republican Party".
