John Young Brown (February 1, 1900 – June 16, 1985) was an American attorney and politician.[1] He was a state representative for six two-year terms, serving one as speaker of the Kentucky House of Representatives in 1932 and as majority floor leader in 1966, during the term of Governor Edward T. Breathitt. He was elected to one term in the U.S. House of Representatives from March 4, 1933, to January 3, 1935, to an at-large seat elected statewide on a general ticket. He was an unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Kentucky in 1939 and the party's unsuccessful nominee for the U.S. Senate in 1946 and 1966. He lost five Democratic primaries for the Senate, the last one in 1968.[2]
