Harry Garner Haskell Jr. (born May 27, 1921) is an American businessman and Republican politician from Wilmington, in New Castle County, Delaware. He served as mayor of Wilmington from 1969 to 1973 and represented Delaware in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1957-1959.

Early life and family

Haskell was born in Wilmington, the son of DuPont executive Harry G. Haskell. He was educated at Tower Hill School, Wilmington, and St. Mark's School, Southborough, Massachusetts. He attended Princeton University from 1940 until 1942, when he enlisted in the United States Coast Guard Reserve. He was made an ensign in 1943, and was discharged as a lieutenant (junior grade) in 1946.

Professional career

Haskell was personnel manager of Speakman Co. in 1947 and 1948, and President of Greenhill Dairies, Inc. from 1948 until 1953, and then owner and operator of Hill Girt Farm in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. He was secretary of the Departmental Council of the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare in 1953 and 1954, consultant to the special assistant to U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1955, and president of the University of Delaware Research Foundation. In 1970 he was appointed a member of the President’s National Reading Council, and was president of Abercrombie and Fitch.

Political career

Haskell was a delegate to the Republican National Conventions from 1952 until 1984, and was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1956, defeating incumbent Democratic U.S. Representative Harris B. McDowell Jr. He served in the Republican minority in the 85th Congress, but lost his bid for a second term in 1958 to Harris B. McDowell Jr. Haskell served from January 3, 1957 until January 3, 1959, during the administration of U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower. He was later elected Mayor of Wilmington, Delaware, and served in that office from January 7, 1969 until January 9, 1973. He is now a resident of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania.
