A member of the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]], he has announced [[Jim Gilmore presidential campaign, 2016|his candidacy]] for the [[Republican Party presidential primaries, 2016|Republican nomination]] in the [[United States presidential election, 2016|2016 presidential election]]. A native Virginian, Gilmore received a Bachelor of Arts and a Juris Doctor from the University of Virginia, and then served in the U.S. Army as a [[Military Intelligence Corps (United States Army)|counterintelligence agent]]. He was later elected to public office as a county [[prosecutor]], as the [[Attorney General of Virginia]], and as Governor of Virginia. On July 30, 2015, Gilmore announced his candidacy for President of the United States in the 2016 election.<ref name="joins">{{cite web | url=http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2015/07/30/jim-gilmore-presidential-announcement/30830661/ | title=Jim Gilmore formally joins GOP presidential race | work=[[USA Today]] | date=July 30, 2015 | accessdate=July 30, 2015 | author=Allen, Cooper}}</ref> ==Early life and education== Gilmore was born in [[Richmond, Virginia]] to Margaret Evelyn (née Kandle), a church secretary, and James Stuart Gilmore, Jr., a grocery store meat cutter.<ref>{{cite web|last=Reitwiesner |first=William Addams |url=http://www.wargs.com/political/gilmore.html |title=The Ancestors of Jim Gilmore |publisher=Wargs.com |date= |accessdate=2012-09-30}}</ref> He graduated from [[John Randolph Tucker High School]] and received an undergraduate degree from the [[University of Virginia]] in 1971. ==Military service== Gilmore enlisted in the United States Army after attending college, receiving training and preparation for service in the [[Military Intelligence Corps]] at the newly created [[United States Army Intelligence Center]] at [[Fort Huachuca]] in Arizona. Gilmore also received rigorous foreign language education at the United States [[Defense Language Institute]] in Monterey, California. Gilmore then worked for three years in the early 1970s, in the 650th Military Intelligence Group. Serving in [[West Germany]] during the [[Vietnam War]] and fluent in [[German language|German]], he served as a [[United States Army Counterintelligence|U.S. Army Counterintelligence Agent]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rnla.org/bio/BioDetail.asp?MemberID=5635 |title=Member Profile: Mr. Jim Gilmore |publisher=Republican National Lawyers Association |date= |accessdate=2012-09-30}}</ref> ==Legal career== Gilmore graduated from [[University of Virginia Law School]] in 1977. Gilmore was elected Commonwealth's Attorney in [[Henrico County, Virginia|Henrico County]] in 1987 and 1991, and then was elected Attorney General in 1993. Gilmore resigned in 1997 to run for Governor. ==Governor of Virginia== In 1997, Gilmore faced then-Lieutenant Governor [[Don Beyer]] and Reform Party candidate Sue Harris Debauche in a bid to succeed [[George Allen (U.S. politician)|George Allen]] as governor. Gilmore campaigned heavily on the twin promises of hiring 4,000 new teachers in [[Public school (government funded)|public schools]] and phasing out Virginia's personal property tax on automobiles.<ref>{{cite news|last=Bierbauer |first=Charles |url=http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1997/10/31/gov.va/ |title=Car Tax Opposition Propels Gilmore's Candidacy – Oct. 31, 1997 |publisher=CNN |date=October 31, 1997 |accessdate=2012-09-30}}</ref> Gilmore was elected, winning 56% of the vote to Beyer's 43%.<ref>[http://www2.sbe.virginia.gov/Election/results/1997/GOV97DST.htm Nov97 Gen Election Results for Governor by Congressional District and Locality]{{dead link|date=September 2012}}</ref> In his first year as Governor, Gilmore pushed for car tax reduction legislation that was eventually passed by the Democratic-controlled [[Virginia General Assembly|General Assembly]]. The legislation reduced car taxes on all cars valued less than $1,000, and phased out the tax on auto values over $1,000 as follows: 12.5% reduction in 1998; 25% reduction in 1999; 47.5% reduction in 2000; 70% reduction in 2001; 100% reduction in 2002. Beginning in 2001, Virginia's economy slowed and tax revenues flattened. In addition to a downturn in the national economy in 2001, Northern Virginia's economy was severely impacted after [[terrorist]]s flew a hijacked airplane into the Pentagon in [[Arlington, Virginia]], on [[September 11, 2001 attacks|September 11, 2001]], resulting in the closure of Reagan National Airport for several months. Despite the economic downturn, Gilmore insisted on advancing the car tax phase out from a 47.5% reduction of each taxpayer's bill in 2000 to the scheduled 70% reduction in 2001. Gilmore signed an executive order reducing state spending by all agencies, except for education, to keep the state's budget balanced during the economic downturn. Democrats criticized the spending reductions and car tax cut. According to the ''[[Washington Post]]'', "Virginia's politicians struggled to balance car-tax relief against demands for public services."<ref>[http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A36388-2005Jan25?language=printer Va. GOP Delegates Rev Up Car-Tax Relief Campaign], ''[[The Washington Post]]''</ref> When Gilmore left office in January 2002, the state's "rainy day fund," or revenue stabilization fund, had fallen to $900 million.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/wb/xp-46661|title=Mark Warner's rising stock|publisher=[[The Roanoke Times]]|date=January 1, 2006|accessdate=December 16, 2007}}</ref> Gilmore also implemented new Standards of Learning reforms in Virginia's public schools. The Standards of Learning prescribed a uniform curriculum in [[mathematics]], [[science]], [[English studies|English]] and [[social studies]] and instituted new tests at the end of the third, fifth and eighth grades, as well as end-of-course tests in high school, to measure student achievement. During Gilmore's term, Virginia's public school students' scores increased on these state tests as well as nationally normed tests.<ref>[http://www.pen.k12.va.us/VDOE/NewHome/pressreleases/gov032101.html ]{{dead link|date=September 2012}}</ref> In 1999, Gilmore proposed and signed into law legislation that reduced tuitions at public colleges and universities by 20%. Gilmore also commissioned a Blue Ribbon Commission on Higher Education that studied accountability and governance of public colleges and universities. Gilmore's Commission authored the first blueprint for decentralized regulatory and administrative authority to some universities in return for agreements to meet agreed upon performance objectives. Gilmore also proposed and signed into law Virginia's first stand-alone Martin Luther King Holiday. Prior to this proposal, Virginia had observed a combined Lee-Jackson-King Day that recognized Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Martin Luther King on the same day each year. Gilmore and his wife hosted a historic reception in the Governor's Mansion for [[Coretta Scott King]] and announced a technology partnership between Virginia and the [[King Center for Nonviolence]]. Gilmore also proposed and funded a new African-American History Trail in Virginia and called upon the State [[Board of Education]] to include a more diverse range of historical figures in Virginia's Social Studies curriculum. Test scores during Gilmore's term showed a narrowing of the "achievement gap" between minority and white students. Gilmore significantly increased funding for two of Virginia's historically black universities, [[Norfolk State University]] and [[Virginia State University]]. Gilmore created the nation's first state Secretary of Technology, a position first held by [[Donald Upson]]. Together they established a statewide technology commission, and signed into law the nation's first comprehensive state [[Internet]] policy.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/workshops/etaildetails/bios/upson.pdf |title=Bios |format=PDF |date= |accessdate=2012-09-30}}</ref> During his term, 37 people were [[death penalty|executed]] in Virginia. Gilmore granted executive [[clemency]] to one [[death row]] inmate on the basis of [[mental illness]]. In another well publicized case, he [[pardon]]ed Earl Washington, a former death row inmate, after [[DNA]] tests, ordered by Gilmore, implicated another person. Gilmore also ordered DNA tests in the case of [[Derek Rocco Barnabei]]; the tests confirmed Barnabei's guilt and he was executed. As Governor, Gilmore signed into law legislation establishing a 24-hour waiting period and informed consent for women seeking an [[abortion]], as well as a ban against [[partial birth abortion]]. Gilmore increased funding for [[adoption]] services. He also signed into law a bill that banned [[human cloning]]. In 1998, Gilmore went to court to try to prevent the removal of a feeding tube of [[coma]] victim Hugh Finn. Gilmore argued that removal of a feeding tube was not removal of artificial life support because it amounted to starvation of an infirm person who could not feed himself. As Attorney General of Virginia, Gilmore had defended a legal challenge to Virginia's first parental notification law for minors seeking abortions. The [[Virginia Constitution]] forbids any Governor from serving consecutive terms, so Gilmore could not run for a second term in 2001. He was succeeded by [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]] [[Mark Warner]], who took office in early 2002. ==Subsequent positions== [[Image:Jim Gilmore 2004 NSTAC.jpg|thumb|right|upright|Gilmore taking questions during a 2004 National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee meeting.]] During his term as governor, Gilmore chaired the Congressional Advisory Commission on Electronic Commerce.<ref>[http://www.ecommercecommission.org/transmittal.pdf NCTL: National Center for Technology and Law<!--Bot-generated title-->]</ref> The Commission was charged with the task of making recommendations to the [[United States Congress]] on Internet taxation.

On July 14, 2007, Gilmore announced that he was ending his campaign. Gilmore said that it would be "impractical" to run, citing the difficulty of raising enough money to be competitive in early-voting states [[Iowa]], [[New Hampshire]], and [[South Carolina]].<ref>Mike Allen, [http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0707/4949.html "Gilmore drops out of the race"], ''The Politico'', July 14, 2007</ref> ==2008 Senate campaign== {{see also|United States Senate election in Virginia, 2008}} In an interview with ''Politico'', Gilmore said that he had been approached to run for the Senate seat of [[John Warner]], who announced his retirement for his senate term ending in 2009. By the end of the summer, many media outlets, most notably the [[Washington Post]], thought it would be a foregone conclusion that Gilmore would jump into the Senate race. Gilmore's successor as governor, Mark Warner, had already announced in September, and 11th District Congressman [[Thomas M. Davis|Tom Davis]] had informally announced his candidacy a few days after Mark Warner's announcement. Gilmore lobbied strongly for choosing the party's nominee at a statewide convention rather than a primary, claiming that a convention would cost only $1 million versus the $4 million required to run a primary campaign. This was no small consideration, as the race for the Democratic nomination essentially ended with Mark Warner's entry into the race. It was understood that Warner would use his considerable wealth to self-finance his campaign. It was thought that a convention would favor Gilmore, since most of the delegates would come from the party's activist base, which is tilted strongly to the right. A primary was thought to favor Davis due to his popularity in voter-rich [[Northern Virginia]]; Davis is a moderate Republican, and most Republicans in Northern Virginia tend to be more moderate than their counterparts elsewhere in the state. On October 13, 2007 the state party's central committee voted 47–37 to hold a convention rather than a primary. With this decision, Gilmore said he was seriously considering a run for the Senate. Gilmore formally announced his candidacy via a [[YouTube]] video on November 19, 2007.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt7EpZ-z5W0 |title=Jim Gilmore Announces His Candidacy For The U.S. Senate |publisher=YouTube |date=2007-11-18 |accessdate=2012-09-30}}</ref> He said that he was running to give Virginia "a strong and steady hand" in the Senate. The domain name ''jimgilmoreforsenate.com'' had been registered on July 10 – four months before Gilmore's formal entry<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.samspade.in/index.php?domain=jimgilmoreforsenate.com |title=Whois on Gilmore's Senate campaign site |publisher=Samspade.in |date= |accessdate=2012-09-30}}{{Dead link|date=September 2012}}</ref> – and the username that uploaded the video to YouTube had been registered on October 16. Gilmore faced a challenge from his right in State Delegate [[Robert G. Marshall|Bob Marshall]] of [[Prince William County]]. Marshall charged Gilmore with being too soft on abortion. However, at the convention Gilmore won the nomination by only 65 votes out of 3,000 cast. In the November election, Gilmore was defeated, winning only 34 percent of the vote to Warner's 65 percent. Gilmore only carried four counties in the state – [[Rockingham County, Virginia|Rockingham]], [[Augusta County, Virginia|Augusta]], [[Powhatan County|Powhatan]] and [[Hanover County, Virginia|Hanover]]. In many cases, he lost in many areas of the state that are normally reliably Republican.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.voterinfo.sbe.virginia.gov/election/DATA/2008/07261AFC-9ED3-410F-B07D-84D014AB2C6B/Official/5_l_0F4812A9-B835-4B53-9D64-99F6A1DA3945_s.shtml |title=Results by county for 2008 Senate election |publisher=Voterinfo.sbe.virginia.gov |date= |accessdate=2012-09-30}}</ref> ==2016 presidential candidacy== {{Main|Jim Gilmore presidential campaign, 2016}} On July 7, 2015, Gilmore told the [[Associated Press]] that he planned to announce his candidacy for the [[United States presidential election, 2016|2016]] [[Republican Party presidential primaries, 2016|Republican presidential nomination]] in the first week of August 2015.
