Carolyn Conn Moore (January 7, 1904 – January 14, 1986) was an American politician from Franklin, Kentucky who became the first woman to serve in the Kentucky Senate when in November 1949 she won a special election to replace her husband, J. Lee Moore, in the legislature after his death.[1]
Moore was married to J. Lee Moore, who was an attorney and legislator.[1]
Moore was active in the Franklin County PTA and served as vice president of the Kentucky Congress of Parents and Teachers.[2]
After the death of her husband in 1949, Carolyn ran unopposed in a special election to fill her husband's seat in the 5th District seat representing Simpson County, Kentucky.
On March 25, 1950, the Kentucky General Assembly passed a motion that placed a plaque "on the desk occupied by Mrs. J. Lee Moore, the first woman member in the Senate of the Commonwealth of Kentucky."[3]
After she completed the term, she took a job with the Democratic National Headquarters. She traveled the country speaking to women about political issues.[1]
Later Moore worked as a recruiter for Belmont College in Tennessee. Moore moved to Tuscaloosa and worked as a housemother at Alpha Delta Gamma sorority. She continued working in politics through the League of Women Voters.[1]
