Frederic René Coudert Jr. (May 7, 1898 – May 21, 1972) was a member of the United States House of Representatives from New York from 1947 to 1959 though better known for his role in New York's Rapp-Coudert Committee.

Background

Coudert was born in New York City on May 7, 1898. He attended the Browning and Morristown Schools in New York City, then graduated from Columbia University in 1918. He joined the Army for World War I, and served as a First Lieutenant in the 105th Infantry Regiment, 27th Division, with overseas service, in 1917 and 1918.

Coudert graduated from Columbia Law School in 1922, was admitted to the bar in 1923 and commenced practice in New York City. He served as an assistant United States attorney for the southern district of New York in 1924 and 1925.

Politics

Coudert was unsuccessful as a Republican candidate for district attorney of New York County in 1929, but was a delegate to the Republican State conventions from 1930 to 1948 and the Republican National Conventions from 1936 to 1948.

He was a member of the New York State Senate from 1939 to 1946, sitting in the 162nd, 163rd, 164th and 165th New York State Legislatures.

Post-congressional career

Coudert was an outspoken conservative and endorsed William F. Buckley's 1965 Conservative campaign for the New York City mayoralty over liberal Republican Congressman John Lindsay.
