Rob Bishop

Bishop was born in Kaysville, Utah, and graduated from Davis High School.{{Cite web|url=https://dhs.davis.k12.ut.us/|title=Home - Davis High School|website=dhs.davis.k12.ut.us|access-date=2022-06-24|archive-date=2022-07-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220708220848/https://dhs.davis.k12.ut.us/|url-status=live}} He served as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Germany from 1970 until 1972. Bishop received a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City in 1974.

He taught civics classes at Brigham City's Box Elder High School from 1974 to 1980; he next taught German in Ogden, Utah at Ben Lomond High School; then he returned to teaching government and history classes at Box Elder High School until his retirement from teaching in 2002.{{cite web|title=Rob Bishop Congressional Bio|url=http://robbishop.house.gov/Biography/|archive-url=http://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20070530204600/http://robbishop.house.gov/Biography/|url-status=dead|archive-date=2007-05-30}} While a teacher at Box Elder, Bishop partnered with the Close Up Foundation to help students participate in Close Up's Washington, D.C.–based civic education programs.{{cite journal |title=Senate |journal=Congressional Record |date=2 December 2020 |volume=166 |issue=203 |page=29 |url=https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CREC-2020-12-02/pdf/CREC-2020-12-02-pt1-PgS7170.pdf#page=2}}{{cite news |title=In praise of Rob Bishop and Gary Herbert |url=https://www.deseret.com/opinion/2021/7/19/22570809/rob-bishop-and-gary-herbert-republican-stalwarts-utah-service-gop-latter-day-saints |access-date=21 February 2024 |work=Deseret News |date=19 July 2021}}

Bishop was a member of the Utah House of Representatives from 1978 to 1994. He was House Majority Leader and later served as Speaker of the House from 1992 until 1994.

In 1997, he was elected chairman of the Utah Republican Party, and served for two terms in this position. He has also worked as a legislative lobbyist in Washington.

In 2002, Bishop returned to politics when he ran for the Republican nomination in the 1st District. 22-year incumbent Jim Hansen had recently announced his retirement. At the state Republican convention, he finished first in the seven-candidate field and went on to face State Representative Kevin Garn in a primary.{{cite web|url=http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=217675|title=Our Campaigns - UT District 1 - R Convention Race|access-date=7 February 2017|archive-date=19 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180919115627/https://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=217675|url-status=live}} He defeated Garn in that primary with 59.8 percent of the vote, all but assuring him of being the next congressman from this heavily Republican district.{{cite web|title=Our Campaigns - UT District 1 - R Primary Race|url=http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=27465|access-date=7 February 2017|archive-date=14 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180914120055/https://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=27465|url-status=live}} As expected, he won the general election with 61% of the vote. He has won re-election in 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, and 2012 with even larger margins. In 2014, he was reelected with 64% of the vote.{{cite news|last1=Fahys|first1=Judy|title=Replican Bishop Returns to Congress in 1st District|url=http://kuer.org/post/republican-bishop-returns-congress-1st-district|access-date=20 November 2014|agency=KUER 90.1|publisher=NPR|date=5 November 2014|archive-date=29 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129024035/http://kuer.org/post/republican-bishop-returns-congress-1st-district|url-status=live}}

In the 2016 election cycle, 92.6% of contributions to Bishop's political campaign came from outside Utah, the highest out-of-state percentage of any member of the House, with much of the contributions coming from the energy and agribusiness sectors, according to an analysis by OpenSecrets.{{cite news |title=For campaign cash, many lawmakers use a big map; Rob Bishop nears 93 percent out-of-state |first=Emma |last=Baccellieri |date=July 8, 2016 |publisher=OpenSecrets |access-date=February 5, 2017 |url=https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2016/07/for-campaign-cash-many-lawmakers-use-a-big-map-rob-bishop-tops-the-out-of-state-list/ |archive-date=February 3, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170203173536/https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2016/07/for-campaign-cash-many-lawmakers-use-a-big-map-rob-bishop-tops-the-out-of-state-list/ |url-status=live }}

In 2010 Bishop introduced to the House an amendment to the United States Constitution, known as the "repeal amendment," which would allow a majority vote of the states to overturn any act of the United States Congress.{{cite news |last=Zernike |first=Kate |author-link=Kate Zernike |title=Proposed Amendment would Enable States to Repeal Federal Law |newspaper=The New York Times |date=December 20, 2010 |access-date=February 6, 2017 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/20/us/politics/20states.html |archive-date=June 20, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170620022123/http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/20/us/politics/20states.html |url-status=live }}

After coming under fire for introducing this amendment,{{cite news |title=Groups blast Bishop over 'gutting' landscape conservation |first=Amy Joi |last=O'Donoghue |url=http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705366847/Groups-blast-Bishop-over-gutting-landscape-conservation.html |access-date=July 5, 2011 |date=February 16, 2011 |newspaper=Deseret News |archive-date=September 7, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110907083920/http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705366847/Groups-blast-Bishop-over-gutting-landscape-conservation.html |url-status=dead }} Bishop withdrew it.

On April 10, 2013, Bishop introduced the Ensuring Public Involvement in the Creation of National Monuments Act. The bill would amend the Antiquities Act of 1906 to subject national monument declarations by the President to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA).{{cite web|title=H.R. 1459 – Summary|url=http://beta.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/house-bill/1459|publisher=United States Congress|access-date=24 March 2014|archive-date=3 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140403070404/http://beta.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/house-bill/1459|url-status=live}} At present, the President of the United States can unilaterally designate areas of federally-owned land as a national monument, whereas national parks and other areas are required to be enacted into law by the United States Congress.{{cite news|last=Johanson|first=Mark|title=GOP Bill Could Mean 'No More National Parks,' Public Land Advocates Warn|url=http://www.ibtimes.com/gop-bill-could-mean-no-more-national-parks-public-land-advocates-warn-1563152|access-date=24 March 2014|newspaper=International Business Times|date=24 March 2014|archive-date=28 March 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140328085844/http://www.ibtimes.com/gop-bill-could-mean-no-more-national-parks-public-land-advocates-warn-1563152|url-status=live}} Bishop argued that "the American people deserve the opportunity to participate in land-use decisions regardless of whether they are made in Congress or by the President". He claims his new bill would ensure "that new national monuments are created openly with consideration of public input".

In March 2019, Bishop said that "the ideas behind the Green New Deal are tantamount to genocide".{{Cite web|url=https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/14/politics/rob-bishop-green-new-deal-tantamount-genocide/index.html|title=Republican lawmaker: Green New Deal 'tantamount to genocide'|author=Elizabeth Landers|website=CNN|date=14 March 2019|access-date=2019-03-15|archive-date=2019-03-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190314231331/https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/14/politics/rob-bishop-green-new-deal-tantamount-genocide/index.html|url-status=live}} Asked to elaborate how this was similar to genocide, Bishop answered, "I’m an ethnic.

Killing would be positive if you implement everything the Green New Deal actually wants to. That’s why the Green New Deal is not ready for prime time."

Bishop was chairman of the Utah Republican Party when the decision was made to close primaries to nonparty members in the late 1990s. The Utah Democratic party holds open primaries. When asked about Democrats changing their party affiliation to vote in the 2020 Republican primary, he replied "instead of piddling around with the Republican primary. Doing it this way ... the best you can call it is dishonorable. It really is a slimy way of doing things." He said the only reason Democrats are attempting to "pervert the process" is to help advance a candidate. "That's inherently wrong," Bishop said.{{Cite web|title=Utah GOP voter registrations up, Democrats and other parties down for primary|url=https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/utah-gop-voter-registrations-up-democrats-and-other-parties-down-for-primary/ar-BB15QMCb|access-date=2020-06-26|website=www.msn.com}} In an editorial, Bishop restated his view: "A leading Democrat wants to create havoc in the system.
