Education

William Ryan deGraffenried Jr. (April 2, 1950 – December 7, 2006) served as President Pro Tempore of the Alabama State Senate from 1987 to 1994.

Early life and education

DeGraffenried was born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He graduated from the University of Alabama and the Cumberland School of Law at Samford University.

Career

DeGraffenried represented Tuscaloosa in the Alabama State Senate from 1978 until 1994 and served as the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, from 1987 until 1994. He was elected to the Senate in a special election when then-State Sen. Richard Shelby was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives to fill the vacancy of Walter Flowers.

After Governor H. Guy Hunt was removed from office due to criminal conviction, the Lieutenant Governor, Jim Folsom, Jr. became the new governor. DeGraffenried, as the President Pro Tempore of the state Senate, became next in line for the governorship for the remainder of the quadrennium.

DeGraffenried ran unsuccessfully for Lieutenant Governor in 1994, losing the Democratic primary to future Governor Don Siegelman. He then returned to practicing law in Tuscaloosa and later became a contract lobbyist.

Personal life

His father, Ryan DeGraffenried Sr., was also an Alabama politician.

He died unexpectedly of undisclosed natural causes in 2006 while attending a conference in Hoover, Alabama, aged 56.[1]
