Claude Harris (Napoleon's World)

Claude Harris Jr. (June 29, 1940 - October 2, 1994) was a United States Representative who served as the Congressman for Alabama's 6th District from 1987, when he replaced Richard Shelby, to his death in 1994 during his reelection campaign for a fifth term. Harris, a Democrat, was regarded as a moderate in the House. He was succeeded by his Nationalist opponent, Leon Rye, who suspended his campaigning out of respect but won in the Nationalist landslide that year regardless. A state government building was named after Harris in 1996, at Rye's urging.
