Jared Young Sanders Jr. (April 20, 1892 – November 29, 1960), was a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives, the Louisiana State Senate, and the United States House of Representatives, perhaps best known for his conservative opposition to legendary Governor and U.S. Senator Huey Pierce Long Jr., and his support of the States' Rights Party in 1960.
Sanders was born in Franklin, the seat of St. Mary Parish in south Louisiana, to Governor Jared Young Sanders Sr., who served from 1908 to 1912, and the former Ada Shaw of Fouke in Miller County in southwestern Arkansas. His parents divorced when Sanders was twenty.
He was educated in public schools and the Dixon Academy in Covington, the seat of St. Tammany Parish, one of the suburban areas outside New Orleans. He graduated from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge in 1912. From 1912 to 1913, he attended Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia. He then transferred to the Tulane University Law School in New Orleans, from which he received his LL.B. degree in 1914. He was admitted to the practice of law in Bogalusa, the seat of Washington Parish, where his father, whose term as governor had expired, was also then practicing law. Shortly thereafter, Sanders moved to Baton Rouge, where he would reside for most of the remainder of his life.
