About this person
Philip Fox La Follette was an American lawyer and politician who served as the 27th and 29th governor of Wisconsin, from 1931 to 1933 and from 1935 to 1939. A member of the prominent La Follette family, he was a son of Wisconsin governor and U.S. senator Robert M. "Fighting Bob" La Follette and younger brother of U.S. senator Robert M. La Follette Jr. After first winning election as a leader of the progressive wing of the Republican Party, La Follette left the party after losing the 1932 Republican gubernatorial primary; he returned to office running on the Wisconsin Progressive Party ticket after founding that party with his brother in 1934. In 1938, he briefly attempted to form a national progressive party, but the effort was largely abandoned after he enlisted in the Pacific War.
