Randy Forbes Biography

Randy Forbes is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on February 17, 1952 in Chesapeake, Virginia, United States. James Randy Forbes, born February 17, 1952, is an American politician. He was a Republican Party member and served as the U.S. Rep. for Virginia’s fourth congressional district from 2001 to 2017.

Forbes co-chaired and founded the Congressional Prayer Caucus (2005, with Senator James Lankford).

The bill included $14 billion in prizes and $10 billion in grants ($10 billion of which would have supported nuclear fusion research); provisions to establish a summit to discuss the challenge of energy independence; and creation of a commission to offer recommendations to fulfill the goal of becoming energy independent within 20 years. On June 26, 2009, the bill was offered as an amendment in the nature of a substitute for the Waxman/Markey- sponsored American Clean Energy and Security Act. The amendment was rejected by the House of Representatives 255–172.

Forbes was founder and chairman of the Congressional China Caucus. Forbes spoke a panel discussion at Harvard University in the April 2012 on U.S. strategy to China’s world power emergence. Forbes has voiced concern for Chinese military ambition, cyber threats, contaminated exports, and human rights violations. His reputation has come under scrutiny with the recent acquisition of America’s largest pork company, Smithfield Foods, by a Chinese competitor – a company headquartered within his district. This $4.7 billion deal is the biggest Chinese acquisition of a U.S. company to date.

Forbes was a member of the Virginia House of Delegates between 1989 and 1997, and the Virginia State Senate between 1997 to 2001. Forbes was elected to the House for the first time in 2001, to fill the vacancy created by the death of Norman Sisisky (a ten-term Democratic congressman). He defeated Louise Lucas (52-48%). Redistricting resulted in the fourth district being redrawn. In 2002 and 2006, he ran unopposed in the Democratic primary. He faced Jonathan R. Menefee in 2004, and won with 65%. In 2010, Wynne L. LeGrow was his opponent. He won easily with 62%. He defeated Ella Ward, Chesapeake City Councilwoman, with 57%.
