'''James Stephen Golden''' (September 20, 1891 – September 6, 1971) was a [[Republican Party|Republican]] member of the [[United States House of Representatives]] for the former 8th and 9th congressional districts in his native [[Kentucky]], both of which were disbanded because of population losses.
Born in Barbourville in Union County, he attended high school at Union College. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1912 from the [[University of Kentucky]] at [[Lexington, Kentucky|Lexington]]. In 1916, he earned his law degree from the [[University of Michigan]] at Ann Arbor]]. That same year, he was admitted to the bar and established his practice in Barbourville.
In 1918, Golden was elected county attorney in Knox County, a post that he filled until 1922. He was a delegate to the [[Republican National Convention]], which nominated [[Moderate Republican]] [[Dwight Eisenhower]] over the more [[conservative [[U.S. Senator]] [[Robert A. Taft]].
Golden served in Congress from 1949 to 1955. He did not seek re-nomination in 1954 and was succeeded by the conservative [[Eugene Siler]]. He then resumed his law practice. He died in Pineville, Kentucky, and is interred there at Pineville Memorial Cemetery.
