Wall Doxey

Wall Doxey (August 8, 1892 – March 2, 1962) was an American politician from Mississippi. He served as a Democrat in the United States House of Representatives from 1929 to 1941; after the death of U.S. Senator Pat Harrison, Doxey won a special election to his seat, and served in the United States Senate from 1941 until 1943. He was defeated in the 1942 Democratic primary by James Eastland.

Doxey was the only United States Senator to have also served as the Senate Sergeant at Arms. He served in this capacity from February 1, 1943 to January 3, 1947.

Wall Doxey State Park, a state park in Mississippi, is named after him.
