Timeline

1945

David Edward Bonior (born June 6, 1945) is an American politician from the U.S. state of Michigan.

1963

He graduated from Notre Dame High School in Harper Woods, Michigan, in 1963, where he excelled in sports.

1967

He received a B.A. from the University of Iowa, where he also played football and became a member of the Iowa Beta chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, in 1967.

1968

He served in the United States Air Force during the peak of the Vietnam War from 1968 to 1972, though not in Vietnam.

He was a founder of the Vietnam Era Veterans Caucus on Capitol Hill and was a strong supporter of the Vietnam veterans' movement.

1972

He received an M.A. from Chapman College in Orange, California, in 1972.

1973

Bonior was a Democratic member of the Michigan State House of Representatives from 1973 to 1976.

1976

First elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1976, Bonior served as Democratic whip in the House from 1991 to 2002, during which time Democrats were in both the majority (1991–1995) and minority (1995–2002), making Bonior the third and second highest-ranking Democrat in the House, respectively.

During his tenure in office, Bonior was the public face of Democratic opposition to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and was known for his tenacity in opposing Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, against whom Bonior filed more than seventy-five ethics charges.

Bonior was born in Detroit, Michigan, the son of Irene (Gavreluk) and Edward Bonior.

He traces his family history from Ukraine and Poland.

1977

In 1976, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Michigan's 12th District (based in Macomb County) for the 95th and to the twelve succeeding Congresses, serving from January 3, 1977, to January 3, 2003.

1991

From 1991 to 2002, Bonior was the House Democratic Whip.

In 1991 he strongly supported recognition of Ukraine as an independent nation and was critical of the Bush administration on that matter.

For most of his tenure in Congress, Bonior represented a fairly compact district in Macomb and St. Clair counties northeast of Detroit.

1993

His district was renumbered as the 10th in 1993, after Michigan lost a House seat as a result of the 1990 United States Census.

2000

However, after the 2000 United States Census, Michigan lost one of its 16 seats in the House of Representatives.

2002

Due to this, Bonior did not run for reelection to the House, and chose to run for Governor of Michigan, stepping down as House Democratic Whip in January 2002; Nancy Pelosi of California succeeded him as Whip.

He lost in a heavily contested primary between former Governor James Blanchard, and then-Michigan Attorney General and eventual nominee Jennifer Granholm, who went on to win the general election.

2006

In 2006, former Senator John Edwards chose Bonior to run his campaign for the presidency in 2008.

Bonior served as campaign manager for the duration of Edwards' candidacy.

2008

Upon the election of Barack Obama in November 2008, Bonior was a member of the President-Elect's economic advisory board.

He has also become a restaurateur, owning and operating the restaurants Agua 301 and Zest.

Bonior is a member of the ReFormers Caucus of Issue One.

2010

He served as Majority Whip in the 102nd and 103rd Congresses.

He was Minority Whip for the 104th through 107th Congresses.

While the Democrats were in the majority, Bonior was the third-ranking Democrat in the House, behind Speaker Tom Foley and House Majority Leader Dick Gephardt.

While they were in the minority, Bonior was second-in-command behind Gephardt.

In Congress, Bonior generally had a progressive voting record, but opposed abortion in most cases.

The redistricting process was controlled by the Republican majority in the state legislature, and Bonior's home in Mount Clemens was shifted from the 10th District to the 12th District.

That district had long been represented by Democrat Sandy Levin, a longtime friend of Bonior's. At the same time, the state legislature radically altered the 10th, extending it all the way to the Thumb.

The new district was considerably more rural and Republican than its predecessor; George W. Bush narrowly won the old 10th, but would have won the new 10th by a large margin.

By all accounts, the 10th had been redrawn for popular Republican Michigan Secretary of State and Macomb County resident Candice Miller.

2015

Bonior and his wife were described as "longtime" members of the Democratic Socialists of America in 2015.

2016

As expected, Miller easily won Bonior's House seat and held it until retiring in 2016.

Proving how Republican-dominated the new district is, no Democratic nominee has won more than 40% of the vote since Bonior retired.

Following his retirement from the House, Bonior became a professor of labor studies at Wayne State University, and founded American Rights at Work, a union advocacy organization, of which he currently serves as chairman.
