Harry Onis Stratton (March 23, 1910 – August 6, 1972) was an American politician in the state of Florida.
He served in the Florida State Senate from 1955 to 1965 as a Democratic member for the 16th district. In 1963, he was president pro tempore of the Senate.[1] He also served briefly in the Florida House of Representatives, from 1945 to 1950.[2] He was a member of the Pork Chop Gang, a group of legislators from rural areas that dominated the state legislature due to malapportionment and used their power to engage in McCarthyist tactics.[3][4]
