James Stephen Golden, Sr. (September 20, 1891 – September 6, 1971) was a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives for the 8th and 9th congressional districts in his native Kentucky, both of which were disbanded because of population losses.[1]
Born in Barbourville in Knox County, he attended high school at Union College. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1912 from the University of Kentucky at 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.[1]
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,[1] 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.[1]
