Willis Hawley
Willis Hawley was an American politician and a member of the Republican Party who served as a U.S. Representative from Oregon. He is best known for co-sponsoring the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which significantly raised tariffs on many imported goods. This legislation aimed to protect American industry during the economic turmoil of the Great Depression but is widely criticized for exacerbating the economic crisis by stifling international trade.
