James Joseph ("Jimmy") Tayoun (March 27, 1930 – November 1, 2017)[2][3] was a Democratic member of Philadelphia City Council and of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.[4]

He served non-consecutive terms representing District 1 on Philadelphia City Council. He resigned from his first term in 1984 to run for a seat in the First Congressional District of Pennsylvania, challenging incumbent Thomas Foglietta.[5]

He resigned from his second term after pleading guilty to racketeering, mail fraud, tax evasion and obstruction of justice charges.[1] He spent 40 months in prison.[6] He is the 7th council member to be indicted since 1972.[7]

He was also editor, publisher, and photographer for the Public Record, a weekly newspaper.[8]
