Stephen Ernest "Steve" Stockman (born November 14, 1956) is an American politician who is the current United States Representative for Texas's 36th congressional district since 2013. A Republican, Stockman previously served as the U.S. Representative for Texas's 9th congressional district from 1995 to 1997. Stockman is running against Texas U.S. Senator John Cornyn in the 2014 Republican primary.[3][4]
Early life, education, and business career
Stockman was born in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan; outside Detroit. He graduated from Dondero High School in Royal Oak, Michigan. From 1985 to 1986, he attended San Jacinto College but dropped out because he suffered from what he called "partying syndrome". When he was a teenager Police officers allegedly found valium in his possession after a girlfriend allegedly hid the substance in his clothes. He was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance, but the charge was later dropped.[5] [6] He was homeless for a time.[7] He later turned around his life and became a born-again Christian.[8][9] In 1990, he earned a bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of Houston–Clear Lake. He worked as a computer salesman in Friendswood, Texas.
U.S. House of Representatives (1995–1997)
Elections (1990-1996)
- 1990
He first ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1990 against Democratic U.S. Representative Jack Brooks. Beaumont, Texas mayor Maury Meyers ranked first in the Republican primary with 45% of the vote, but failed to reach the 50% threshold. Stockman, who earned 41% of the vote, faced Meyers in a run-off.[10] Meyers defeated Stockman 61%-39%.[11] In the general election, Meyers lost to Brooks, 58%-42%.[12]
- 1992
Stockman ran again in 1992. This time, he was unopposed in the primary. Brooks defeated him 54%-43%.[13]
- 1994
He ran again in the Republican 1994 election cycle. He had two challengers in the primary, but won with 73% of the vote.[14] In the general election, he defeated 42-year incumbent Brooks 52%-46%.[15]
- 1996
The 1996 general election for Texas's 9th Congressional District was unusual. After the normal primaries had been held, the district boundaries of the 18th, 29th, and 30th districts were struck down as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander in Bush v. Vera, necessitating redistricting of the 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 18th, 22nd, 24th, 25th, 26th, 28th, and 30th Districts.[16] Because the redistricting was held after the normal primaries, those results were discarded and new votes for these districts were held as special elections; open to all candidates without a primary, and requiring a majority to win the seat outright.[citation needed]
These elections were held concurrently with the November general election for other elective positions. Stockman ranked first with 46%, but needed 50% to win outright. He faced Jefferson County assessor Nick Lampson, a member of the Democratic Party, in the runoff election.[17] Lampson won the runoff election 53%-47%.[18]
Past tenure (District 9)
During Stockman's past term in Congress, the district represented Chambers, Galveston, Jefferson, and part of Harris counties, including portions of metropolitan Houston. He was unable to win reelection in this majority Democratic District.
During his term, Stockman opposed the U.S. bailout of the Mexican peso[19] which was supported by House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
In 1995, Stockman wrote an article in Guns & Ammo magazine in which he claimed that the Waco siege had been orchestrated by the Clinton administration in order "to prove the need for a ban on so-called 'assault weapons.'" The siege resulted in the deaths of 76 members of the Branch Davidian religious sect after a fire broke out during an FBI raid on their compound. Stockman wrote: "Had Bill Clinton really been unhappy with what Attorney General Janet Reno ordered, he would not only have fired her, he would have had Reno indicted for premeditated murder." After the article was published, a spokesman for Stockman denied that the Congressman believed any "conspiracy theories" about Waco.[20][21]
Committee assignments
Inter-congressional career (1997—2013)
Advocacy
He was a faculty member who conducted training for the conservative Leadership Institute, a non-partisan educational organization based in Arlington, Virginia.[25] He worked as director of the Leadership Institute's Campus Leadership Program 2005-07.[26] Stockman has been involved with the Young Conservatives of Texas, and has represented the Republican National Committee at International Democrat Union meetings.[citation needed] He has received a 100 percent rating from the American Conservative Union.[8] He is supported by Gun Owners of America and Citizens United, and conservative U.S. Representative Louie Gohmert of Tyler, Texas.[8]
1998 election for Railroad Commissioner
In 1998, Stockman was an unsuccessful Republican primary candidate for the Texas Railroad Commission.[25] By a margin of 53% to 47%, he lost to Tony Garza, the choice of Governor George W. Bush.[citation needed] Garza then was elected to the Railroad Commission position but left midway in the term to become United States Ambassador to Mexico after George W. Bush was elected President.
2002 bankruptcy
During his time away from Congress, Stockman cared for his decorated World War 2 veteran father, who had Alzheimer's disease. The cost of caring for him meant that Stockman declared bankruptcy[27] and, when his father's disease became too severe, Stockman moved him to a veteran's home. When his father died, Stockman decided to run for Congress in the 2012 elections.[25]
2006 congressional election
In 2006, he attempted to run as an Independent candidate for Texas's 22nd congressional district, Tom DeLay's former seat, but he failed to gather enough signatures to be placed on the ballot.[28] However, Stockman did register for the special election to fill out the remainder of the term for the district, one of five candidates.[29] He came in third with 10.75% of the vote.
U.S. House of Representatives (2013—Present)
2012 election
In 2011 Stockman formed an exploratory committee, Friends of Steve Stockman, to consider a run for the 14th district seat being vacated by unsuccessful presidential candidate Ron Paul. Stockman instead ran in 2012 in the newly created 36th District, which includes his home in Friendswood. This district was drawn to be heavily Republican, and it was understood that whoever won the Republican primary would be the district's first congressman. In the May 29 primary, Stockman finished second in the first round behind Stephen Vincent Takach, a financial planner who spent heavily from his own funds. Takach finished with 22 percent of the vote, far short of the 50 percent threshold required to win.[30] Stockman won the July 31 runoff election, defeating Takach 55%-45%--thus assuring his return to Congress after a 16-year absence.[31]
In the November 6 general election, Stockman defeated the Democrat Max Owen Martin (born 1946), a retired pilot from Clear Lake City, Texas. A supporter of U.S. President Barack Obama,[32] Martin was unopposed for his party's congressional nomination.[31] Stockman defeated Martin 71%-27%.[33]
Current tenure (District 36)
Stockman decided not to vote for John Boehner (R-OH) for Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. He was one of just ten Republicans to not vote for Boehner: Justin Amash, Steve Pearce, Jim Bridenstine, Ted Yoho, Paul Broun, Louie Gohmert, Walter Jones, Thomas Massie, Tim Huelskamp, Mick Mulvaney, and Raúl Labrador, but the only representative to vote "Present" as his protest vote.[34][35] Stockman stated, "I will not vote for or support Congressman Boehner's bid to remain Speaker of the House. This is not something I do lightly, but out of bedrock conservative principle and a dire need to save this nation from its current course. We cannot tolerate betrayal of conservative principle and economic reality. I have known Congressman Boehner since I first came to the House in 1995. He is a decent man. But I have sharp disagreements with the manner in which he has handled President Obama and House conservatives. While he is all too eager to favorably negotiate with a liberal White House that has outmaneuvered him at every turn, he has been harsh and punitive in dealing with conservatives."[36]
Stockman is a believer in small government and considers Obamacare as being tantamount to socialism. He has been a strong opponent of Obamacare in the U.S. Congress, and has sponsored a bill to defund it.[37]
Stockman introduced "The Safe Schools Act", a bill that would repeal federal laws mandating "gun free zones" around schools in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting which took place in the previous month. He said, "I have one concern, protecting children from dangerous predators. By disarming qualified citizens and officials in schools we have created a dangerous situation for our children. In the 22 years before enactment of 'gun free school zones' there were two mass school shootings. In the 22 years since enactment of 'gun free schools' there have been 10 mass school shootings. Not only has the bill utterly failed to protect our children it appears to have placed them in danger."[38] The same month, Stockman issued a press release condemning gun control executive orders issued by President Barack Obama post-Sandy Hook, stating, "I will seek to thwart this action by any means necessary, including but not limited to eliminating funding for implementation, defunding the White House, and even filing articles of impeachment."[39]
In February 2013, Stockman voted against the re-authorization of the Violence Against Women Act, objecting to provisions in the bill that expanded protections for transgendered victims of domestic violence. Stockman said, "This is helping the liberals, this is horrible. Unbelievable. What really bothers — it's called a women's act, but then they have men dressed up as women, they count that. Change-gender, or whatever. How is that — how is that a woman?"[25]
In December 2013, Stockman started accepting donations in Bitcoin, the online currency, during a New Year's Eve party[40] while carrying a Bitcoin QR-Code.
Committee assignments
U.S. Senate campaign 2014
On December 9, 2013, Stockman filed for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate for Texas against incumbent U.S. Senator John Cornyn.[3][4] In January, Congressman Stockman sued a PAC supporting Cornyn for making what Stockman called "reckless, malicious and false" statements about him.[42][6]
