Known as "The Fox" to friends and foes alike, Napier began his political career in his native Garrard County, Kentucky, at age 26 with a term on the county's governing body, where he served from 1967 to 1969.[1] Napier won the seat in 1984 following the state's redistricting. In 1971, Napier challenged veteran state Representative Joe Clarke for the 54th district state House seat, a race which he lost.
