More on John Carter
Description from Wikipedia:
John Rice Carter (born November 6 1941) is the Republican United States Congressional Representative from Texas's 31st congressional district (map). Carter was elected Secretary of the House Republican Conference by his colleagues on November 17, 2006.
Carter was born in Houston, but has spent most of his life in central Texas. Since 1971, he has lived in Round Rock, just north of Austin. He has been married to Erika Carter for almost 40 years, and they have four grown children.
Carter graduated from Texas Tech University with a degree in history in 1964, and earned a law degree from the University of Texas at Austin in 1969. After graduating from law school, Carter served as the first general counsel to the Texas House of Representatives’ Agriculture Committee. Carter later began a successful private law practice in Round Rock.
In 1981, Carter was appointed as judge of the 277th District Court of Williamson County. He was elected to the post a year later — the first Republican elected to a countywide position in Williamson County. He was reelected four times, usually with 60% of the vote.
Carter retired from the bench in 2001 in order to run for Congress in the newly created 31st District. After finishing second in the primary, he defeated Peter Wareing in the runoff — which was tantamount to election in this heavily Republican district. He has been reelected twice without facing serious opposition.
Carter is best known as the author of a law that made it easier to prove identity theft and provides stiff penalties for the offense. It was signed into law by George W. Bush in 2004.
