Jesse Lee Helms, Sr. (June 7, 1909 – November 7, 1982), was a businessman who served as the 31st mayor of Greenville, South Carolina from the summer of 1979 until his death in office three and a half years later. He served on the Greenville City Council, partly in District 5 and also as an at-large member, from 1973 until his resignation in May 1979 to run for mayor.[1][2]
Helms is credited with bringing about the Main Street development plans of his elected mayoral predecessor, Max Heller.[3]
In the 1980 presidential election, Helms was an early donor to former Governor John B. Connally, Jr., of Texas, who withdrew from consideration after amassing only one delegate in the early portion of the campaign.[4]
