Rocky Anderson Biography

Rocky Anderson is one of the most popular and richest Lawyer who was born on September 9, 1951 in Logan, Utah, United States. Ross Carl “Rocky” Anderson, born September 9, 1951, is an American politician and attorney. From 2000 to 2008, he was the 33rd Mayor of Salt Lake City. He is currently the Executive Director at High Road for Human Rights, and a founding member for the Justice Party.

Anderson defeated Kelly Atkinson in a contentious primary election. He then ran against Merrill Cook in 1996 for Congress as the Democratic nominee in Utah’s Second Congressional District. Anderson won over 100,000 votes without any financial assistance from the Democratic Party. Some local Democratic leaders considered Anderson too liberal due to his support for the ACLU and opposition to U.S. policies toward Nicaragua in 1980s. Anderson lost the 1996 race against Merrill Cook by 29,680 voters, receiving 42 percent of the votes cast to Cook’s 55%.

Anderson ran for Mayor of Salt Lake City in 1999, defeating 10 other candidates in the primary campaign, before winning 60% of the vote in the general election against opponent Stuart Reid. He won re-election by a 7% margin against Frank Pignanelli in 2003.

In 2000, Anderson asked the Salt Lake City Police Department to end its participation in the DARE program. He told DARE officials: “I think your organization has been an absolute fraud on the people of this country … For you to continue taking precious drug-prevention dollars when we have such a serious and, in some instances, growing addiction problem is unconscionable.”

Anderson quickly criticized many of President Obama’s policy positions and his staff selections after his election. Anderson opposed Susan Rice’s appointment as United States Ambassador at the United Nations. Anderson criticizes Rice for “doing little” to stop Rwanda’s 1994 genocide. Rice is a staff member at the National Security Council. Anderson was critical about Obama’s appointment of John Brennan to his counter-terrorism advisor. Brennan, a Bush Administration member, had publicly supported wiretapping and “enhanced interviewing” as well as the “rendition” of war-on terror suspects to offshore prisons that are beyond the reach American law. Anderson also criticized Obama’s decision to change his position on the issue of immunity for telecom firms that had cooperated with Bush Administration’s wiretapping programme.
