Winfield Dunn
Bryant Winfield Culberson Dunn (born July 1, 1927) is an American politician, dentist, and medical industry official, who served as Governor of Tennessee from 1971 to 1975. He was the state's first Republican governor in fifty years, and was just the sixth since the Civil War.〔 Dunn was an unsuccessful candidate for a second term in 1986, losing to Ned McWherter. He has remained active in the Republican Party and the medical field since the end of his term as governor.〔Michael Rogers, "(Winfield Dunn )," ''Tennessee Encyclopedia of History and Culture'', 2009.

==Early life==
Dunn was born in Meridian, Mississippi, the son of Aubert C. Dunn, a prominent attorney and politician, and Dorothy (Crum) Dunn. In 1944, during World War II, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy, and served as a pharmacists' mate in the Asia-Pacific Theatre. He subsequently served as a reserve lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force.〔
Dunn graduated with a B.B.A. from the University of Mississippi in 1950. That same year, he married Betty Prichard, the daughter of a Memphis dentist. After working in the insurance industry for several years, he obtained his D.D.S. from the University of Tennessee Medical Units in Memphis in 1955. He initially practiced with his father-in-law before opening his own practice in Memphis.〔
Inspired by Barry Goldwater's views on conservatism, Dunn ran unsuccessfully for the Tennessee House of Representatives in 1962.〔 He was elected Chairman of the Shelby County Republican Party, and as such campaigned for Goldwater in the 1964 presidential race.〔 He was a delegate to the 1968 Republican National Convention, and campaigned for the eventual nominee, Richard Nixon.〔
