Henry Ward (Kentucky)

Henry Ward (Kentucky)

Henry Ward was a Democrat who held posts in Democratic state administrations in Kentucky and was the Democratic nominee for Governor of Kentucky in 1967. Ward lost the general election to Louie B. Nunn. Nunn won 454,123 votes (51.2%) to Ward's 425,674 (48.0%).

Ward had previously been active with the Chamber of Commerce in Louisville and was instrumental in having Interstate 65 routed through Louisville's downtown. Ward later said that the route of Interstate 65 through downtown Louisville was a mistake.

Edward T. Breathitt had selected the intelligent Ward as his successor as governor, but Ward was not a particularly skilled or gifted candidate for public office. He became the first Democratic nominee for governor to lose since 1943.
