Holley in 1963

Charles Richard Holley Sr. (1924 – March 15, 1981[1]) was an American lawyer, state legislator, and circuit court judge in the state of Florida. He was the Republican candidate for governor in 1964. He represented Pinellas County in the Florida House of Representatives from 1960 to 1964 and served as minority leader during part of that time.[2]

Holley was born in Jacksonville, Florida.[2] He challenged the constitutionality of a Florida law requiring candidates for elected political office to not be serving in an elected office that would have an overlapping term with the new office if they won.[3]
