Bob
Goodlatte came to the United States House of Representatives in 1993,
bringing with him valuable knowledge and working experience of one of
the largest and most diverse Congressional Districts in Virginia.
Bob's
service to the Sixth District began in 1977, when he became District
Director for former Congressman M. Caldwell Butler. In that position,
he was responsible for providing assistance to citizens as related to
solving issues with various federal agencies. In 1979, he founded a
private law practice; and later became a partner in the law firm of
Bird, Kinder and Huffman, working there from 1981, until his election
to Congress.
While in Congress, his leadership
abilities earned him a seat on the House Judiciary Committee, where he
currently serves as the Vice Ranking Member. He also serves on the
Courts and Competition Policy Subcommittee and the Crime, Terrorism,
and Homeland Security Subcommittee. Bob's work on the Judiciary
Committee aids many of his legislative priorities including ending the
Immigration Visa Lottery, cracking down on spammers, curbing illegal
Internet gambling, stemming the abuse of frivolous class action
lawsuits, and reducing wasteful government spending by requiring a
federal Balanced Budget Amendment.
In 2003, Bob was
named Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, the first from
Virginia since 1947. In that role he promoted healthy forest
initiatives, and worked to provide programs to rural Americans who are
in need of a stable farm economy, while providing for the safest, most
abundant and affordable food supply in the world. He now serves as the
Ranking Member on the Subcommittee on Conservation, Credit, Energy and
Research.
Bob serves as Chairman of the House
Republican High Technology Working Group; Co-Chair of the Congressional
Internet Caucus; and is a member of the Republican Policy Committee.
Bob,
57, is a graduate of Washington and Lee University School of Law, and
his undergraduate degree in Government was earned at Bates College in
Lewiston, Maine. Bob and Maryellen have been married for 34 years, live
in Roanoke, and have two children, Jennifer and Rob.
SWAC
Political Breakfast is fashioned after the popular “town hall meeting”
venue. It is non-partisan and open to everybody in the community. SWAC
Breakfast does not promote or endorse any particular party and/or point
of view. It serves as a social forum for politically-minded people who
like to share and discuss ideas with their neighbors. It also allows
citizens an opportunity to hear from public figures, elected officials,
and candidates running for public office. SWAC Political Breakfast is
held at various locations throughout the community.
