In what year was the Louisiana Governor who appointed Henry "Tank" Powell to the Louisiana Board of Pardons born?
Henry &quot;Tank&quot; Powell Henry Watson Powell, known as Henry "Tank" Powell (born July 18, 1945), is an insurance agent in Ponchatoula in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, who served as a Republican member of the Louisiana House of Representatives for District 73 from 1996 until term-limited in 2008. He and Leonard R. "Pop" Hataway, former sheriff of Grant Parish, were subsequently appointed in 2008 by Governor Bobby Jindal to the five-member Louisiana Board of Pardons.

Louisiana gubernatorial election, 1924 The Louisiana gubernatorial election of 1924 was held in two rounds on January 15 and February 19, 1924. Like most Southern states between the Reconstruction Era and the Civil Rights Movement, Louisiana's Republican Party was virtually nonexistent in terms of electoral support. This meant that the two Democratic Party primaries held on these dates were the real contest over who would be governor. The 1924 election saw Henry L. Fuqua defeat Hewitt Bouanchaud to become Governor of Louisiana, and saw the beginning of the political rise of Huey P. Long, who came in a surprisingly strong third.
