'''Jack Kemp''' (1935-2009) was a congressman from the [[Buffalo]] area who led the movement for tax cuts in the 1980s.  His legislation, entitled the "Kemp-Roth" tax cuts, embodied the insight of [[supply-side economics]] that cutting taxes could both help the economy and increase government revenue.  A former star football player in the fledgling [[American Football League]], Kemp ran unsuccessfully for [[President]] in 1988 and was the unsuccessful [[Republican]] nominee for the [[Vice President]] in 1996.  He also served for four years as the [[Secretary of Housing and Urban Development]] ([[HUD]]) under President [[George H.W. Bush]].
