    Notes about J. Bryan Sasser
    by his son
    Glenn G. Sasser
    Veteran Republican incumbent
    State Senator Durham Howard, Pineville,
    successfully fended off
    J. Bryan Sasser,
    Corbin, Democratic contender,
    in the 17th State Senatorial District
    composed of Knox, Bell and Whitley counties.
    Howard's district vote was 11,616 to
    Sasser's 8,147--a margin of 3,469.
    Howard carried Knox County with 3,042 to
    Sasser's 2,075--a margin of 967 votes.
    Although he never won a countywide race, being
    a staunch Democrat in a Republican county, he
    was the democrat patronage chairman in the
    Corbin end of Knox County, KY, for several
    years and was campaign chairman for several
    successful democratic governors. He was
    elected City Commissioner for the City of
    Corbin, KY, in the early 1950s. He was a
    new car dealer in Corbin from the late
    1930s until he retired in 1962. He sold
    Buick, Pontiac and Studebaker.
