Preferred Citation: (Box Number, Folder Number), MS-419 Congressman David Hobson Papers, Special Collections and Archives, University Libraries, Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio Acquisition The collection was transferred to Special Collections and Archives in November 2008. The records were sent from Congressman Hobson’s Washington D.C. and Springfield, Ohio offices by his office staff. A number of Congressman Hobson’s records were retained by the National Archives. 1 Separated Material The following series and subseries are stored in the Special Collections and Archives Alternate Storage Facility located in the basement of the Medical Sciences building: Series II: Constituent Letters, Series IX: Audiovisual Material, Subseries XE: Newspaper Clippings, and Series XII: Memorabilia. Physical Characteristics and Technical Requirements The Hobson Papers contain audio cassette tapes and reels, VHS tapes, U-Matic video tapes, 8M video tapes, DVDs, computer diskettes, and CD-Rs and CD-ROMs. There is a CD-ROM containing the archived versions of Congressman Hobson’s official House of Representatives website from 2007 through 2008; however, the original website was created using Microsoft’s ASPX (or ASP.net) technology, which strings together pieces of information to form a web page. The archived website does not bear the same appearance or hold all of the information as did Hobson’s original website. An incomplete HTML version of Hobson’s website is included on the disc. The Hobson Congressional website was archived by the House of Representatives CAO office on the Internet Archive (http://archive.org) under the “Wayback Machine” section of the website. To find Congressman Hobson’s website, enter http://hobson.house.gov into the search bar of this section of the Internet Archive, and various backed-up versions of the website will be shown, available from 2007 to 2008. The collection also contains a CD-RW that holds a large number of records for Series X, including radio scripts (1995-2003), speeches (1996-2004), news releases (1995-2004), and Hobson’s weekly news columns (1995-2004). Although some of the records were created and saved using Microsoft Word software and are still able to be accessed readily, the remaining records were saved using WordPerfect software. The Special Collections and Archives is unable to support WordPerfect-formatted records.

Hobson graduated from Withrow High School in Cincinnati in 1954. He attended Ohio Wesleyan University, receiving his B.A. in 1958. As a member of the Ohio Air National Guard, he obtained the rank of Airman First Class, serving from 1958 to 1963, during which time he was on active duty in Europe throughout the Berlin Wall crisis. In 1963, Hobson graduated from the Ohio State College of Law, earning his J.D. and initially pursuing a career as a lawyer, with an emphasis in real estate law. Living in Springfield, Ohio, David Hobson worked as Resident Counsel for the Kissell Company, as well as being an attorney for the Union Central Life Insurance Company and a licensed real estate salesman in Springfield. Hobson married Carolyn Alexander Hobson, and the couple have three children: Susan Marie (1963), Lynn Martha (1965), and Douglas Lee (1968). During the 1970s, Hobson taught evening courses at Wittenberg University and Urbana College. David Hobson’s entrance into the political spectrum occurred in December 1982 when Ohio Republican State Senator Michael DeWine vacated his position after being elected as a congressman to the U.S. House of Representatives. Hobson was selected for the vacant state senate seat, and served in the Ohio Senate from 1982 to 1990. While a senator, Hobson held positions as the President Pro Tempore and the Republican Majority Whip. One of the positions which would bear a lasting mark on his life was his appointment as the Chairman of the Ohio Senate Health, Human Services and Aging Committee. His tenure in this position led Hobson to become a life-long political supporter of health care reform, as well as better treatment for the elderly and military veterans. One of his greatest successes in the Ohio Senate was securing the passage of the AIDS Bill in the Ohio legislature, for which he strongly fought from 1988 to 1990. In 1990, Senator Hobson was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives again to replace Michael DeWine, who this time left his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives to become Lieutenant Governor of Ohio. Hobson served the Ohio 7th District, whose constituents were largely from Ohio’s Miami Valley Region and the cities of Dayton, Springfield, and Xenia. In the U.S. House, Hobson was appointed primarily to serve on budget-related committees and subcommittees, including the following: House Appropriations Committee; Subcommittee on Military Construction; Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development; Committee on the Budget; and Subcommittee on Defense. With the presence of Wright–Patterson Air Force Base in his congressional district, Hobson became extremely involved in the appropriation and investigative actions of the Military Construction and Defense subcommittees. As a result, Congressman Hobson participated in a large number of congressional delegation trips around the world, touring U.S. military sites for inspections and reviews of military installations, their construction projects, and looking

Action No. 97-0160, ordering NRWC to respond to Interrogatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3, as modified by the Court. INTRODUCTORY COAKMENTS Intemgatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3 relate to activities from more than four years ago. NRTWC has experienced changes in personnel over those years, and documents may no longer exist, if they ever existed. Nonetheless, “WC, with the assistance of counsel and staff, has conducted a diligent search for documents and facts, and responds on the basis of information so gathered. The Court limited the scope of Interrogatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3 to the 1992 senatorial candidates, and the Commission, by its attorneys in discussions with “WC counsel, has further limited the scope to the 1992 general election senatorial candidates. Thus, NRTWC’s search has focused on the 1992 general election senatorial candidates. Also, the Commission and NRTWC, in briefing and in discussions between counsel, have agreed that NRTWC may redact documents to delete supporter-identitjing information from documents to be produced, and NRTWC is doing so. MTERROGATORY NO. 3 NRlwC did not engage in, or finance, in whole or in pa, “any activities relating to federal elections in October-December 1992 .

  • The United States House of Representatives
    THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES “Tough but doable” was the way Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Executive Director Howard Wolfson described the Democrats' chances of taking back the House of Representative last Friday. Wolfson had a rough week. Charlie Cook, the respected non-partisan political analyst who is listened to by political reporters, and maybe more importantly, by political PACs, wrote that the math just didn’t seem to be there for the Democrats to pick up the net of six seats they’d need to regain control of the House. During the spring and summer, Cook believed that the Democrats could overcome "the math” with their strength on domestic issues. But, despite a slight edge (48% Democrat- 46% Republican) in the “generic ballot question" (“If the election were held today for Congress, for whom would you vote?”) Democrats haven’t put the issues together in a way to produce the tide it would take to move enough races to produce a Democratic House. Last summer, not only Cook, but top Democrats believed that the Enron, WorldCom and Arthur Anderson scandals, along with the plummeting stock market, had created a climate that could sweep the Democrats back. At one point they even fantasized that all 40 or so competitive races could break their way. But, by August, guns had replaced butter as the overarching national political theme, and the Democrats lost that “mo.” A driving force behind the vote on the Iraq resolution was burning desire by the Democratic leadership to get the focus back on the economy. Indeed, the day after the vote, House Democratic Leader Dick Gephardt and Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle held a high profile economic forum as a signal that the economy was the main concern of Democrats.

  • Congressman Dave Hobson Joins Vorys
    CONGRESSMAN DAVE HOBSON JOINS VORYS Columbus, OH January 19, 2009 Congressman Dave Hobson (R-OH) will join Vorys Advisors LLC, a wholly owned affiliate of the law firm, Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP, on Feb. 2, 2009. Congressman Hobson will be the president of Vorys Advisors, which will provide business and strategic counsel to the law firm’s clients and other Ohio businesses. Congressman Hobson, who recently retired after representing Ohio's 7th District for 18 years, will work from Vorys’ Columbus office. “We are pleased to have someone of Congressman Hobson’s extraordinary passion and expertise join the Vorys team,” said Russell M. Gertmenian, managing partner of Vorys. “His experience and dedication to the people of Ohio are unparalleled. His lengthy career in public service and business has been characterized by hard work to improve the environment, promote economic development, strengthen national defense and expand access to quality health care and education. He has made a significant difference in the lives of Americans; now he will share his experience with our firm and our clients.” During his Congressional tenure, Congressman Hobson served as chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development, chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction and as a senior member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense. In those positions, he worked to secure funding for water and sewer infrastructure projects to provide Ohioans with access to clean water sources; high-tech research and development programs to help transform and strengthen the economy and create jobs; and the cleanup of nuclear sites in Ohio to help improve the environment.
