Representative Edward Halsey Jenison

Edward Halsey Jenison (born July 27, 1907) was a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives from Illinois. Representing Illinois’s 23rd congressional district, he served three consecutive terms in Congress. His tenure in the U.S. House began on January 3, 1947, and concluded on January 3, 1953.

During this period, Jenison served as a Representative in the post–World War II era, when the nation was adjusting to peacetime conditions and entering the early years of the Cold War. Although specific committee assignments and legislative initiatives are not listed in the available record, his service as a Republican from Illinois placed him within the congressional majorities and minorities that shaped federal policy in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

Jenison left office as a former member of Congress after his third term ended in 1953. Further details about his life, career outside Congress, and later activities are not provided in the available metadata.
