Bob Goodlatte Biography

Bob Goodlatte is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on September 22, 1952 in Holyoke, Massachusetts, United States. Bob Goodlatte received the Republican nomination at the Republican District convention after Democratic Party candidate Jim Olin opted not to run for reelection again in 1992. In the primary, the incumbent beat Democratic Candidate Stephen Musselwhite, who had beat Olin’s preferred candidate in the District Democratic convention, winning 60 percent of the votes. Goodlatte has been elected ten times, most of the time being unopposed. His most significant Democratic opponent was during 1996 when he had to face Jeff Grey, and again in 1998 in 1998, when Roanoke Mayor David Bowers challenged him. In a district that is overwhelmingly conservative Goodlatte resisted the challenge, winning 67 percent as well as 69% votes and 69%, respectively. In 2008 the race, he was challenged by Democratic presidential candidate Sam Rasoul of Roanoke. Goodlatte got six-two percent of votes. In 2010, Goodlatte was contested against by Independent Jeffrey Vanke and Libertarian Stuart Bain. Goodlatte was victorious with 76.26 percent of the vote.

Goodlatte is a staunch advocate of a federal prohibition of online gambling. In 2006, he sponsored H.R. 4777, the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act. In September 2006, working with then Iowa Congressman Jim Leach, Goodlatte was a major House supporter of the Unlawful Internet gambling Enforcement Act of 2006. The Act was passed at midnight the day Congress adjourned before the 2006 elections. Prior to it being added to the bill, the gambling provisions had not been debated by any Congressional committee. The bill was made sure to exclude online gambling. They claimed moral reasons for pushing for a ban on Internet gambling, but critics charge that it was due to campaign contributions from Microsoft and Steam.

During a secret meeting on the night before the start of the 115th Congress, Goodlatte led an attempt by House Republicans to reduce the reach of the independent Office of Congressional Ethics. The Office was created in 2008 after numerous infractions involving Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff, resulting in the imprisonment of House member Bob Ney. The proposed amendment to House Rules, spearheaded by Goodlatte, gave the House Ethics Committee – made up of partisan elected officials – oversight of what would be the renamed Office and power to stop inquiries that had the potential to lead to criminal charges. It would have also blocked the Office’s staff from speaking with reporters and other news media members.

In his first professional position, he was an aide to the staff of the 6th District U.S. Representative M. Caldwell Butler from 1977 until 1979. Goodlatte then worked as an attorney as a private practitioner from 1980 until 1993.

Goodlatte was born in Holyoke, Massachusetts, the son of Doris B. (nee Mentzendorff) and Robert Swan Goodlatte. His paternal ancestry is English as well as Irish as well as his mother’s grandfather who was Baltic German from Riga. Goodlatte graduated with an B.A. in political science at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine in 1974. He also has the Juris Doctor from the Washington and Lee University School of Law in Lexington, Virginia, received in 1977.
