For the 114th Congress, he was chosen by his Republican colleagues as chairman of the Small Business Committee to succeed Sam Graves of Missouri, who was forced to leave due to Republican term limit rules. Chabot had been the second-ranking Republican on the panel. Citing research showing firms less than five years old create 7 of 10 jobs, he wants to boost startups by pursuing policies such as simplifying the tax code, ensuring better access to capital, cutting the nation's debt and blocking burdensome regulations. Chabot says that during the Barack Obama administration, ``small businesses have shouldered the disproportionate burden of new regulations, higher taxes, and more difficult barriers to the capital needed to grow. The Obama administration's policies -- from Dodd-Frank, to Obamacare, to an emboldened EPA -- have made operating a business or starting a new business more challenging than ever before.'' Chabot says repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act would help, while acknowledging that health care needs improvement. Chabot cited his own plan to allow taxpayers to deduct from their taxes 100 percent of their insurance premium costs, and has expressed support for allowing small businesses to join together to negotiate with insurance companies to lower prices, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. He also would allow sales of health insurance plans across state lines. On energy, Chabot wants to consider all available options, including wind, solar, nuclear and drilling in Ohio. ``I am a strong proponent for the Keystone XL pipeline that would bring thousands of barrels of oil to the U.S. each day, not © 2015 Bloomberg Finance L.P. All Rights Reserved ``I am a strong proponent for the Keystone XL pipeline that would bring thousands of barrels of oil to the U.S. each day, not to mention, create thousands of American jobs,'' he said on his website. ``Some of those jobs would be created right here in Cincinnati at our Siemens plant.'' To cut spending, Chabot supports adding a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. ``It's time that Congress make the tough decisions to stop wasteful government spending,'' he said. Chabot opposes privatization of Social Security as well as cuts to the program even while citing a 2009 report by trustees predicting the system will begin paying out more in benefits than it collects in revenue. ``Though this is a grim forecast, cutting benefits is not an option that I would support,'' he said. On social issues, he opposes same-sex marriage and abortion rights. Chabot's campaign points to his authorship of a bill to ban late-term abortions, which was enacted into law in 2003. The American Conservative Union has given Chabot a lifetime rating of 97 percent based on his votes on key legislation. Chabot took his place in congressional history as one of House members managing Clinton's 1999 Senate trial in connection with the scandal over his involvement with Monica Lewinsky, a former White House intern. The Republican-led House's vote to impeach Clinton made him the second president to be impeached. Clinton was acquitted by the Senate. On his website he defended his handling of the impeachment process as even-handed. Early Years Born in Cincinnati, Chabot received a bachelor's degree from the College of William and Mary. He returned to Cincinnati and taught at St. Joseph's School while attending night classes at Northern Kentucky University's Salmon P. Chase College of Law, where he received his law degree. Chabot also has taught political science at the University of Cincinnati. Chabot's first attempt at elective office came in 1979, when he lost a bid for a seat on the Cincinnati City Council. He tried once more before he was finally successful in 1985, serving on the City Council from then until 1985 to 1990 when he was elected to the Hamilton County Commission. In 1988, he waged an unsuccessful bid for the House, losing to Democrat Thomas Luken. Chabot was first elected to Congress in 1994, when Republicans took control of the House for the first time in 40 years. Chabot contributed to that historic turnover by defeating incumbent Democrat David Mann. In 2008, with Obama at the top of the Democratic ticket and Ohio a presidential battleground state, Chabot lost his bid for re-election to an eighth term to Democrat Steve Driehaus. Two years later, Republicans re-gained control of the House in what Obama called a ``shellacking'' and Chabot won his seat back, ousting Driehaus. In 2014, he defeated Democratic challenger Fred Kundrata, an airline pilot, with more than 63 percent of the vote. Personal Note Chabot's a past chairman of the Boy Scouts of Cincinnati. Updated Nov. 28, 2014 BIO FROM REPRESENTATIVE'S WEBSITE From the Representative's Website U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot has proudly served Ohio's First Congressional District for 18 years. A lifelong Cincinnatian, Steve previously served as a Cincinnati City Councilman and Hamilton County Commissioner for four years each prior to being elected to Congress in 1994. Since becoming a Member of Congress, Steve has served on the Committee of the Judiciary, the Committee on Small Business and the Committee on Foreign Affairs. He was named to the role of Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific in 2013, after previously serving as the Chairman of the Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee from 2011-2012. Steve also served as Chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution from 2001-2006 and as Ranking Member on the House Committee on Small Business from 2007-2008. Steve has taken his passion to fight wasteful government spending to Congress, becoming one of the leading advocates © 2015 Bloomberg Finance L.P. All Rights Reserved Steve has taken his passion to fight wasteful government spending to Congress, becoming one of the leading advocates for fiscal responsibility. Steve has consistently voted to eliminate wasteful spending and reduce the excessive tax burden on hard-working Americans. Nonpartisan taxpayer advocacy groups such as Citizens Against Government Waste, the Concord Coalition and the National Taxpayers Union have time and again rated Steve as one of the most pro-taxpayer members of Congress. Steve has also helped lead efforts to pass product liability reform measures and toughen anti-drug laws. He is an outspoken defender of the rights of the unborn, most importantly having authored the ban on the practice of Partial-Birth Abortions. In January 1999, Steve served as one of 12 House Managers during the Senate impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton, where he received praise for his even-handed and thoughtful approach to the trial. Steve is a proud 1973 graduate of LaSalle High School. He went on to earn his undergraduate degree from the College of William and Mary, and then returned to Cincinnati to teach at St. Joseph's School in the West End while studying at Northern Kentucky University's Salmon P. Chase College of Law in the evening. Steve and his wife, Donna, live in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Westwood. They have two children, Erica and Randy, and are the proud grandparents of Reed.

  • The FBI Investigated Missing Money from Chabot's Campaign After His Campaign Could Not Account for More Than $120,000. On
    The FBI investigated missing money from Chabot’s campaign after his campaign could not account for more than $120,000. On top of that, Chabot has used his political organization to enrich his family. But when it comes to helping your family pay the bills, Chabot has voted 15 times to increase health care costs and take away protections for people with pre-existing conditions in Ohio, like asthma, cancer and diabetes. The Chabot Campaign Released A Justice Department Letter Stating That An FBI Fraud Investigation Into Former Chabot Campaign Manager Jamie Schwartz After $123,000 Went Missing From Chabot’s Campaign. “The campaign of U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Westwood, released correspondence from the Justice Department that confirmed for the first time that Chabot’s former chief political aide, Jamie Schwartz, is under investigation for fraud. […] The July 21 Justice Department letter to the Chabot campaign’s attorneys in Washington, D.C., Jones Day, discusses a 2011 Jeep Wrangler seized by the FBI in its investigation of Schwartz. ‘An investigation conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation has determined that Steve Chabot for Congress is a victim of the violation of law which resulted in the seizure and forfeiture of the above-referenced property,’ the letter, signed by Stephen Jobe, chief of the department’s legal forfeiture unit, states. […] About $123,000 went missing from the campaign. About a year ago, Schwartz closed his consulting business and vanished from the local political world. He could not be reached for comment. Schwartz has not been charged with wrongdoing. The Justice Department letter said the amount of forfeited funds “available for remission” is $13,255.20.

  • Campaign Finance Reform Jurisprudence Under the Roberts Court
    Stare Indecisis: Campaign Finance Reform Jurisprudence under the Roberts Court By Andrew Leiendecker Advisor: Professor Chris Edelson, School of Public Affairs For University Honors Spring 2014 Abstract: The following research paper consists of a detailed examination of the Supreme Court’s campaign finance reform jurisprudence under the leadership of Chief Justice John Roberts. This paper examines the holdings and implications of seven primary cases: Randall v. Sorrell (2006), FEC v. Wisconsin Right to Life (2007), Davis v. FEC (2008), Citizens United v. FEC (2010), Arizona Free Enterprise Club PAC v. Bennett (2011), McCutcheon v. FEC (2014), and the forthcoming Susan B. Anthony List v. Driehaus (2014). Examining these cases three overarching problems emerge. First, the Court must reexamine and expand their definition of corruption as applied to campaign finance activities. Second, the Court has severely departed from the pre-Roberts standard (illustrated in Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce and Nixon v. Shrink Missouri Government PAC) of legislative deference on issues of campaign finance. And third, the Roberts Court’s conservative majority appears to be growing more and more comfortable with reversing or ignoring precedential campaign finance cases, including Austin, Nixon, McConnell v. FEC, and even Buckley v. Valeo. This has allowed for a dramatic reduction in the amount of campaign finance regulation in American elections, resulting in an empowering of wealthy individuals, candidates, and corporations to dominate an election cycle at the expense of the voices of everyday Americans, which threatens to undermine the public’s continued faith in our democratic process and the reputation of the Supreme Court itself.
