Bridges, (Henry) Styles

    0.02 sec.

Bridges, (Henry) Styles (1898-1961)

US Republican governor, senator, magazine editor, and investment broker. Although conservative governor of New Hampshire 1935-37, he appointed the first woman state judge. In the US Senate 1937-61, he opposed the New Deal. After World War II, he promoted his ultra-conservative views, supporting the anticommunist campaign of his fellow Republican, Joseph McCarthy.

He was born in West Pembroke, Maine. He served on the New Hampshire Public Service Commission before becoming governor when he spent state money carefully, but he funded relief aid for mothers and dependent children. He held positions on various bodies in the US Senate.
