From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Raper Jonas (1904 - 1988) was a U.S. representative from North Carolina for ten terms (1953-1973). At the time of his election in 1952, he became the first Republican to represent his state in either house of the U.S. Congress since his own father, Charles A. Jonas, and George M. Pritchard left office in 1931.
Jonas lived most of his life in Lincolnton, North Carolina. During World War II, he served in the United States Army Judge Advocate General's Corps.
