Timeline
Donovan died on New Year's Day, 1993 at Arlington Hospital in Arlington, having suffered from diabetes and cancer. He was survived by his wife and daughters, and donated his precious Irish books to his alma mater, Georgetown University.
After the 1960 census documented additional growth in northern Virginia which the Virginia legislature's redistricting barely addressed, in April 1962 Donovan joined with fellow Fairfax County politician John C. Webb, as well as C. Harrison Mann and Kathryn H. Stone of neighboring Arlington County. All four broke with the Byrd Organization and challenged the gross under-representation of Northern Virginia (for example some rural districts had one delegate per 20,000 residents but Fairfax County's two delegates each represented 143,000 people). A three-judge federal panel decided in their favor on November 28, 1962, but the state appealed. The United States Supreme Court eventually decided in their favor on June 15, 1964 in Davis v. Mann.
The 1962 redistricting (which was still in effect in the 1963 election) moved the 29th senatorial district to cover Prince William County, rather than Fairfax County, and renumbered the core of the old district covering Fairfax County and Falls Church as the 27th District. Like fellow state Senator, Armistead Boothe, Donovan declined to seek re-election. Omer L. Hirst and Robert C. Fitzgerald were elected as Fairfax's dual senators, defeating John K. Lally and William G. Downey in the primary.
He was active in the American Bar Association, the American Judicature Society and Virginia Bar Association, as well as in his local Lions club (serving as District Governor and State Parliamentarian). Active in his local Catholic church, St. James Catholic Church in Falls Church, as well as the Knights of Columbus and Eagles, Donovan was made a knight of the order of St. Sylvester by Pope Pius XII. In 1956 the Catholic War Veterans named Donovan their Catholic layman of the year.
Donovan represented Falls Church, Fairfax County and surrounding areas in the state senate for three terms, 1952-1964, during the period of Massive Resistance as well as the growth of the northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C. The district was initially numbered the 29th, and included Prince William County and Alexandria from Donovan's original election in 1951 until the 1955 election. Donovan's core Falls Church and Fairfax area was reformulated for that election as the 28th District when growing Northern Virginia received some additional representation. During his legislative service, Donovan also served as Chairman of the Interstate Potomac River Basin Commission.
Donovan practiced law in Virginia from 1933 until 1983, when he retired but continued to do legal work out of his home and remained active in his community. Donovan moved to Falls Church, Virginia in 1941 and served as the town attorney in the 1940s. He later proudly called himself the nuttiest trial lawyer in Virginia.
John Amadeus Kiernan Donovan (June 23, 1907 – January 1, 1993) was an attorney, writer, dog breeder and Virginia Democratic politician who served part-time in the Virginia Senate representing Fairfax County from 1952 until 1964.
