Bob McEwen
Bob McEwen is a Republican and a former member of the United States House of Representatives from southern Ohio's Sixth District, from January 3, 1981 to January 3, 1993. Tom Deimer of Cleveland's Plain Dealer described him as a "textbook Republican ... opposed to abortion, gun control, high taxes, and costly government programs." McEwen, who had easily won three terms in the Ohio House, was elected to Congress at the age of thirty to replace a retiring representative in 1980 and easily won re-election five times. After a bruising primary battle with another incumbent whose district was combined with his in which McEwen faced charges of bouncing checks on the House bank, he narrowly lost the 1992 general election to Democrat Ted Strickland. Following an unsuccessful run in the adjacent Second District in 1993, McEwen was largely absent from the Ohio political scene for a decade until, in 2005, he unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for Congress in the Second District special election to replace Rob Portman, who beat him in 1993, and finished second to the ultimate winner in the general election, Jean Schmidt. In 2006, he unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination in the Second District. (more...)
