Lonnie Nelson Napier (May 24, 1940 – April 14, 2023) was an American politician from the Republican Party (GOP). Napier served from 1985 to 2013 in the Kentucky House of Representatives.
Known as "The Fox" to friends and foes alike, Napier began his political career in his native Garrard County, Kentucky, at age 26 with a term on the county's governing body, where he served from 1967 to 1969.[1] Napier won the seat in 1984 following the state's redistricting. In 1971, Napier challenged veteran state Representative Joe Clarke for the 54th district state House seat, a race which he lost.
