Jeffrey Hoover
Jeffrey H. Hoover (born January 18, 1960) is an American politician and attorney who served as speaker of the Kentucky House of Representatives from 2017 to 2018, and was the first Republican to be elected speaker since 1920.
Elected to the House in 1996, Hoover served as minority caucus chair from 1999 to 2001, and minority leader from 2001 until his election as speaker in 2017. He represented Kentucky's 83rd House district, which comprised Clinton, Cumberland and Russell County as well as part of Pulaski County.
Hoover announced in late 2017 that he would resign as speaker due to accusations that he had sexually harassed an aide, which he denied. He was unopposed for re-election to his House seat in 2018 and did not seek reelection in 2020.
