Harold Eugene Ford, Jr. was a Democratic member of the U. S. House of Representatives from Tennessee from 1997 to 2007 representing the state's 9th Congressional district. He declined to run for reelection in 2006 so he could run for the Senate vacated by the retirement of Sen. Bill Frist. Ford lost that race to Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.)
