'''Charles Kistner Pringle, Sr.''' (born 1931), is an [[attorney]] in Biloxi, [[Mississippi]], who was one of the first two [[Republican Party|Republicans]] to serve in the Mississippi House of Representatives since [[Reconstruction]].
==Background==
Pringle graduated in 1949 from Biloxi High School.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.classmates.com/people/Charles-Pringle/8677578630|title=Charles Pringle (Class of 1949)|publisher=classmates.com|accessdate=May 11, 2014}}</ref> He graduated in 1951, at the age of twenty, from the [[University of Mississippi]] at Oxford<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.e-yearbook.com/yearbooks/Mississippi_University_Ole_Miss_Yearbook/1951/Page_113.html|title=Ole Miss Yearbook (Class of 1951), p. 113|publisher=e-yearbook.com|accessdate=May 11, 2014}}</ref> and in 1954 from the University of Mississippi School of Law.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.e-yearbook.com/yearbooks/Mississippi_University_Ole_Miss_Yearbook/1954/Page_43.html|title=Ole Miss Yearbook (Class of 1954), p. 43|publisher=e-yearbook.com|accessdate=May 11, 2014}}</ref>
As of 2018, he was practicing with the firm, Pringle & Roemer.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://lawyers.findlaw.com/profile/view/1494402_1|title=Charles K. Pringle|publishelawyers.findlaw.com|accessdate=February 7, 2021}}</ref>
Pringle, the husband of the former Ann Slayden, has three children, a son, Dr. Charles K. Pringle, Jr. (born c. 1962), a radiolog in Jackson and a graduate of the [[University of Tennessee]] at [[Knoxville]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ucomparehealthcare.com/drs/charles_pringle/|title=Dr. Charles Pringle, Jr.|publisher=ucomaprehealthcare.com|accessdate=May 11, 2014}}</ref> as well as secondr son, J. B. "Rives" Pringle, and a daughter, Caroline.
==Political life==
In 1963, at the age of thirty-two, Pringle ran for state representative in Biloxi on the Republican ticket headed by [[governor|gubernatorial]] nominee [[Rubel Phillips]] of Corinth, and [[Jackson]], Mississippi and the candidate for [[lieutenant governor, [[Stanford Morse]], an outgoing state senator and lawyer from from Gulfport, the neighboring city of Biloxi on the Gulf Coast. [[Democratic Party |Democratic]] Governor [[Ross Barnett]] was term-limited in the 1963 election. While Phillips and Morse, both former Democrats, were defeated by the Democrats Paul Burney Johnson, Jr., and [[Carroll Gartin]], respectively, Pringle won his state House race.<ref name=statusquo/>
In 1967, Paul Johnson was ineligible to seek reelection as governor, a provision that has since been changed in the Mississippi state constitution. Rubel Phillips again carried the Republican nomination for governor, but he was handily defeated by the Democrat U.S. Representativ John Bell Williams, then of Mississippi's 3rd congressional district. By this time, Clarke Reed of Greenville]had replaced the original chairman of the state GOP, [[Wirt Yerger]], an insurance agent in Jackson, under whom Pringle had been elected to the House. Pringle lost his House seat after a single term, as did two other freshmen Republican members of the legislature, Representative [[Lewis McAllister|Lewis Leslie McAllister, Jr.]], a businessman from Meridian and later, [[Tuscaloosa]], [[Alabama]], who served from 1962 to 1968, and state Senator [[Seelig Wise]], who represented Coahoma County, Tunica, and Quitman counties near Clarksdale in northwestern Mississippi from 1964 to 1968.<ref name=statusquo>Billy Hathorn, "Challenging the Status Quo: Rubel Lex Phillips and the Mississippi Republican Party (1963-1967)," ''The Journal of Mississippi History'' XLVII, November 1985, No. 4, p. 240, 242, 262.</ref>
