Rodney Dennis Chandler (born July 13, 1942) is an American politician and journalist who served five terms as aU.S. Representative fromWashington from 1983 to 1993.

He is the great-great-grandnephew of long-time U.S. SenatorZachariah Chandler ofMichigan.

Early career

[edit]

Rod Chandler received aB.S. fromEastern Oregon College and aM.Ed. from theUniversity of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Before entering politics, Chandler worked as atelevision news correspondent and apublic relations consultant.

Political career

[edit]

State legislature

[edit]

He was elected to theWashington House of Representatives in 1974.

Congress

[edit]

In 1982 he was elected as aRepublican to the 98th Congress, representing the newly created8th congressional district. In that race, he defeatedDemocratic candidate Beth Bland by a margin of 57% to 43%.^[1] He held the seat for five terms, until he gave up his seat for an unsuccessful candidacy for theUnited States Senate.

In 1989 Chandler revealed publicly that he is a recoveringalcoholic.^[2]

Senate campaign

[edit]

In 1992, one of Washington’s U.S. Senate seats came open when the incumbent,Brock Adams, announced his retirement amidst a personal scandal.^[3] Democraticstate Senator Patty Murray won the Democratic primary and faced Chandler in the general election. For much of the race, Chandler seemed to have the upper hand, but during a debate in the later stages of the campaign he inexplicably responded to Murray's criticism for spending $120,000 on congressional mailings during an economic recession by quoting theRoger Miller song "Dang Me".^[4] By association, Chandler was further damaged by the unpopularity in the Pacific Northwest of incumbent PresidentGeorge H. W. Bush, who was largely blamed for the recession.

Later career

[edit]

Chandler taughtAdvanced Placement Government classes atEaglecrest High School inCentennial,Colorado until the end of the 2006–07 school year.

Chandler endorsedDemocrat Joe Biden during the2020 United States presidential election, wanting to prevent the re-election of PresidentDonald Trump.^[5] Chandler was one of 12 former Republican U.S. Representatives who filed anamicus brief inTrump v. Anderson, supporting theColorado Supreme Court's decision to disqualify former President Donald Trump as a candidate in the 2024 Presidential Election.^[6]

Chandler is a member of the ReFormers Caucus ofIssue One.^[7]
