He was a Democrat from Kentucky who represented the state in the United States Senate from 1973 until 1985. Huddleston lost his 1984 Senate re-election campaign to Mitch McConnell in an upset. Early lifeHuddleston was born in Burkesville, Kentucky.[1] After he graduated from high school, he enlisted in the United States Army and served as a tank gunner in Europe during and after World War II from 1944 to 1946.[1] He then attended the University of Kentucky with support from the G.I. Bill, and he graduated in 1949.[1][2] In 1947, Huddleston married Martha Jean Pearce, who died in 2003.[3] After graduating from college, Huddleston worked as the sports and program director for WKCT in Bowling Green, Kentucky.[1] In 1952, he became the general manager of WIEL in Elizabethtown, Kentucky.[2] He later became president of the Kentucky Broadcasters Association.[1] CareerHuddleston entered politics in 1964 when he was elected to the Kentucky State Senate.[4] He was elected as a state senator in 1965, serving until 1972; for a time, he was the body's majority leader.[4] In 1972, Huddleston ran for the United States Senate seat which was being vacated by retiring Republican John Sherman Cooper.[5] He narrowly defeated Republican Louie B. Nunn, a recent former governor, receiving a 51% to 48% margin.[6] Huddleston was reelected in 1978 with 61 percent of the vote over the former Republican state Representative Louie R. Guenthner Jr., of Louisville.[7] In 1984, Huddleston's Republican opponent was Jefferson County (Louisville) Judge-Executive Mitch McConnell.[1] McConnell gained political traction with a series of television campaign ads making sport of Huddleston's attendance record in the Senate.[8] McConnell accused him of putting "his private speaking engagements ahead of his Senate responsibilities."[9] Despite these ads, the race was very close, with McConnell only defeating Huddleston when the last returns came in (49.9% to 49.5%).[10] Post-Senate careerHuddleston was known as a member of the moderate wing of the Democratic Party, as was typical of party members from Kentucky.[11] In the late 1980s, Huddleston served on the National Board of Advisors of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, an anti-immigration group advocating for a lower rate of legal immigration.[12] In 2012, Huddleston announced he was stepping down as chairman of First Financial Service Corporation.[13] DeathHuddleston died on October 16, 2018 in Warsaw, Kentucky, in his sleep at his son Stephen's house. He was 92 years old.[14] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=https://www.kentucky.com/news/politics-government/article220096785.html|title=Former U.S. Sen.
