Chabot's district became considerably more Democratic in redistricting. It now includes the entire city of Cincinnati; previously the eastern portion had been in the heavily Republican 2nd district. Chabot had considered retiring but ultimately ran for re-election as he believed Republicans would write off the seat unless he ran again. In the general election, he lost in an upset to Democratic nominee [[Greg Landsman]], a member of the [[Cincinnati City Council]]. Chabot was the last surviving member of the "[[Republican Revolution]]" of [[1994 United States House of Representatives elections|1994]] who was still serving in Congress.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Representative Steve Chabot Farewell Speech |url=https://www.c-span.org/video/?524784-4/representative-steve-chabot-farewell-speech |website=C-SPAN}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Steve Chabot concedes to Greg Landsman |url=https://spectrumnews1.com/oh/columbus/news/2022/11/09/chabot-concedes-to-landsman |access-date=2024-01-09 |website=spectrumnews1.com |language=en}}</ref> Afterwards, Chabot stated that he would not run for the seat in [[2024 United States House of Representatives elections|2024]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Wartman |first1=Scott |date=9 November 2022 |title=Chabot won't run again after Tuesday's loss.

Steven Joseph Chabot (/ˈʃæbət/ SHAB-ət; born January 22, 1953) is an American politician and lawyer who represented Ohio's 1st congressional district in the United States House of Representatives from 1995 to 2009 and again from 2011 to 2023. A member of the Republican Party, he lost his 2022 reelection bid to Democrat Greg Landsman. Until his election loss, he was the dean of Ohio's GOP delegation to the House of Representatives, after the retirement of former Speaker John Boehner.[1]

Early life, education, and pre-political career

[edit]

Chabot was born in 1953 in Cincinnati, Ohio, the son of Gerard Joseph and Doris Leona (née Tilley) Chabot; paternally, he is of French-Canadian descent.[2] He graduated from La Salle High School in Cincinnati in 1971, and then from the College of William and Mary in 1975, earning a Bachelor of Arts in physical education. He went on to obtain a Juris Doctor degree from Northern Kentucky University Salmon P. Chase College of Law in 1978. He worked as an elementary school teacher in 1975–1976 while taking law classes at night. Chabot also taught political science at the University of Cincinnati and chaired the Boy Scouts of Cincinnati.[3]

As a practicing attorney from 1978 to 1994, Chabot handled domestic disputes and the drafting of wills as a sole practitioner.[4] He operated out of a small law office in Westwood.[5]

Early political career

[edit]

Chabot ran unsuccessfully for the Cincinnati City Council as an independent candidate in 1979 and as a Republican in 1983. He won a seat in 1985 as a Republican and was reelected for the next four years. In 1988, he ran for the U.S. House of Representatives against seven-term incumbent Democrat Tom Luken, who defeated him, 56–44%.[6] In 1990 he was appointed a Commissioner of Hamilton County, Ohio, and was elected later that year and again in 1992, holding that office until 1994.

[edit]

Elections

[edit]

In 1994, Chabot ran for the U.S. House again and defeated Democratic incumbent David S. Mann of Ohio's 1st congressional district, 56%–44%. In 1996, he defeated Democrat Mark Longabaugh, a member of the Cincinnati City Council, 54%–43%.[7] In 1998, he defeated Cincinnati Mayor Roxanne Qualls, 53% to 47%.[8] In the series of debates during that campaign, Qualls criticized Chabot for not funneling enough federal spending to his home district. Chabot countered that he would not support "wasteful or unnecessary" federal programs.[9][10] In 2000, he defeated City Councilman John Cranley 53–44%.[11] In 2002, he defeated Greg Harris with 65% of the vote.[11] In 2004, he defeated Harris again, with 60% of the vote.[12]

2006

[edit]

Chabot defeated Democratic challenger John Cranley again, this time by a narrower margin of 52–48%.[13]

2008

[edit]

Chabot lost to State Representative Steve Driehaus, 52%–48%.[14]

2010

[edit]

In a rematch, Chabot defeated Driehaus,[15][16] Libertarian Jim Berns, and Green Party nominee Richard Stevenson.[17] Chabot won with 52% of the vote.[18][19]

2012

[edit]

Chabot defeated Democratic nominee Jeff Sinnard, 58%–38%, with Green nominee Rich Stevenson and Libertarian nominee Jim Berns picking up the balance.[20] He was helped by the 2010 round of redistricting, which shifted the majority of heavily Republican Warren County to the 1st Congressional District.[21]

2014

[edit]

Chabot defeated Democratic nominee Fred Kundrata, 63%–37%.[22]

2016

[edit]

Chabot defeated Democratic nominee Michele Young, 59%–41%.[23]

2018

[edit]

Chabot defeated Democratic nominee Aftab Pureval, 51%–48%. Libertarian nominee Dirk Kubala took the remainder of the vote.

2020

[edit]

Chabot defeated Democratic nominee Kate Schroder, 52%–45%. Libertarian nominee Kevin David Kahn took the remainder of the vote.[24]

2022

[edit]

Chabot's district became considerably more Democratic in redistricting. It now includes the entire city of Cincinnati; previously the eastern portion had been in the heavily Republican 2nd district. Chabot had considered retiring but ultimately ran for re-election as he believed Republicans would write off the seat unless he ran again. In the general election, he lost in an upset to Democratic nominee Greg Landsman, a member of the Cincinnati City Council. Chabot was the last surviving member of the "Republican Revolution" of 1994 who was still serving in Congress.[25][26] Afterwards, Chabot stated that he would not run for the seat in 2024.[27]

In 1999, Chabot served as one of the House managers in the impeachment trial of Bill Clinton.[28]

On December 18, 2019, Chabot voted against both articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. Of the 195 Republicans who voted, 185 voted against both articles and 10 Republicans[29] voted for impeachment.

On January 7, 2021, Chabot objected to the certification of the 2020 US presidential election results in Congress based on false claims of voter fraud.[30]

In March 2021, he voted against the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.[31]

In August 2021, Business Insider reported that Chabot had violated the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act of 2012, a federal transparency and conflict-of-interest law, by failing to properly disclose an exchange of stock in Allergan plc and AbbVie Inc. worth up to $30,000.[32]

Chabot favors repealing the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). He favors market-based reforms that he claims will offer American families more lower-cost options.[41] He supported the March 2017 version of the American Health Care Act, the GOP's replacement for Obamacare.[42] On May 4, 2017, Chabot voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act and pass the American Health Care Act.[43][44]

Environment

In 1999, Chabot was one of the managers appointed to conduct the impeachment proceedings of President Bill Clinton.[46]

On August 22, 2011, Chabot asked Cincinnati police to confiscate cameras being used by private citizens to record a town-hall meeting, even as media television cameras recorded the incident.[47][48][49] YouTube videos of the incident provided wide awareness of it, and the participating police officer was later disciplined.[50]

In 2002, Chabot advocated teaching intelligent design alongside the theory of evolution by natural selection in Ohio high schools.[51]

Chabot has called for ending logging subsidies in the Tongass National Forest,[52] and promoted relations with Taiwan.[53] In 2002, he helped spearhead the local campaign against building a light rail system in Hamilton County.[54]

As of 2016, Chabot had traveled on congressional fact-finding missions to 46 countries at a cost of $200,000.[55]
