John Boehner serves as speaker of the United States House of Representatives. Elected to represent the Eighth Congressional District of Ohio for an 11th term in November 2010, he is a proven leader in the drive for a smaller, less costly and more accountable federal government.
Elected to Congress in 1990, Boehner and fellow members of the “Gang of Seven" took on the House establishment – Democrats and Republicans. They successfully closed the scandal-riddled House Bank, uncovered "dine-and-dash" practices at the House Restaurant, and exposed drug sales and cozy cash-for-stamps deals at the House Post Office.
On Nov. 17, 2010 – his 61st birthday – Boehner was elected by his colleagues to serve as Speaker-designate. Since that time he has fought to make the legislative process more open and to ensure the priorities of the American are reflected in the priorities of lawmakers. He led the drive for an aggressive set of reforms that require bills to be posted online at least three days before a vote, make it easier to cut spending, require legislation to cite its authority in the Constitution, and more. He also led House Republicans in adopting the first-ever ban on “earmarks” – the secretive, pork-barrel spending he has opposed since his first days in Congress.
Today, Speaker Boehner is focused on removing government barriers to private-sector job creation and economic growth, cutting government spending, reforming Congress, and rebuilding the bonds of trust between the American people and their representatives in Washington.
The Ashbrook Center, (www.ashbrook.org) located on the campus of Ashland University, teaches the meaning and significance of America through educational programs for students, teachers and citizens.
