Lyle Hagler Boren (May 11, 1909 – July 2, 1992) was a U.S. Democratic Party politician and a member of the United States House of Representatives from Oklahoma, serving from 1937 to 1947 and was defeated for renomination in the 1946 election.[1] He was known for his independence in the party, opposing labor union strikes on defense plants and attempts to expand the federal government.[2]
Boren attracted national attention for his criticism of The Grapes of Wrath.[3] He was active in state politics long after leaving Congress and is the father of former U.S. Senator and Oklahoma Governor David Boren, and grandfather of former U.S. Congressman Dan Boren, who represented Oklahoma's 2nd congressional district from 2005 to 2013.
