John
Boehner (b.
November 17, 1949 ) With the strong Republican victory
in the 2010 elections, the Democratic
Party lost control of the House of
Representatives, and as a result, the
Republican members of Congress got to
choose the new Speaker. On November 17,
2010, Boehner was unanimously chosen by
the House Republicans as their nominee
for Speaker. John Boehner, a Republican
Representative from Ohio, was born in
Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio on
November 17, 1949. Boehner graduated
from Moeller High School, in
Cincinnati, Ohio in 1968. He later
earned a Bachelor of Science Degree at
Xavier University in1977. Just out of
high school in 1968, John Boehner
served in the United States Navy, for
only eight weeks, being honorably
discharged due to a medical issue (a
bad back). Boehner later worked as a
businessman and business executive for
the Nucite Sales company, and began his
political career as the Union Township,
Ohio, board of trustees in 1981, later
becoming Board President, in 1984. In
1984, he won election as a member of
the Ohio state house of
representatives, holding that office
from 1985 to1990. In 1990, John Boehner
was elected as a Republican to the
102nd Congress. Positions he has held
in Congress include: House Republican
Conference Chairman, 1995-1999; Chair
of the Committee on Education and the
Workforce; Majority Leader, and
Minority Leader. John Boehner and his wife Debbie
were married in 1973. They live in the
Wetherington section of West Chester
Township. They have two daughters,
Lindsay and Tricia. Boehner is somewhat
also known for his golden tan, and his
passion for golf. Links
