Timeline

1920

John Edward Roush (September 12, 1920 – March 26, 2004) was an American lawyer and World War II veteran who served eight terms as a U.S. Representative from Indiana from 1959 to 1969, and again from 1971 to 1977.

1938

Born in Barnsdall, Oklahoma, Roush graduated from Huntington High School, Huntington, Indiana, 1938.

1942

A.B., Huntington College, Huntington, Indiana, 1942.

He was in the United States Army from 1942 to 1946 and from 1950 to 1952.

His later service was in the reserves, where he was promoted to major.

1949

LL.B., Indiana University School of Law – Bloomington, Indiana, 1949.

He was a lawyer in private practice and served as member of the Indiana state legislature from 1949 to 1950.

1954

Roush was elected prosecuting attorney of Huntington County, Indiana from 1954 to 1958, and to the Board of Trustees of Huntington College, Huntington, Indiana from 1958 to 1960, and from 1981 to 1987.

1959

Roush was elected as a Democrat to the Eighty-sixth and to the four succeeding Congresses (January 3, 1959 – January 3, 1969).

1960

In the 1960 election, Roush's opponent George Chambers was at first declared the winner by 12 votes and certified by the state of Indiana as such.

Roush contested the election and neither man was seated, though both were paid a congressman's salary and staff while the contest was decided.

There was no Indiana law to govern recounts and so the House committee carried it out on its own rules, and at the conclusion declared Roush the winner by 99 votes.

1961

He was sworn in following a vote to seat him on June 14, 1961.

Redistricting by the Indiana legislature eliminated Roush's district and drew his home in Huntington into the Fort Wayne-based 4th Congressional District of E. Ross Adair, a Republican.

1968

Adair defeated Roush for reelection to the Ninety-first Congress in 1968.

1971

Roush sought a rematch against Adair in 1970 and narrowly defeated him, and he served three more terms in the House (January 3, 1971 – January 3, 1977).

1972

Roush defeated State Senator Allan Bloom in 1972 and State Senator Walter P. Helmke in 1974.

1976

He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection to the Ninety-fifth Congress in 1976.

Roush was defeated by Dan Quayle, who subsequently was elected as U.S. Senator and Vice-President of the United States.

1977

He served as director, regional and intergovernmental operations for the United States Environmental Protection Agency from 1977 to 1979, and as Interim president, Huntington College, Huntington, Indiana, in 1989.

2004
