Timeline
Nicholas Valentino Lampson (born February 14, 1945) is an American politician and restaurateur who is a former Democratic Congressman representing the 22nd Congressional District and the 9th Congressional District of Texas.
Lampson is a lifelong resident of Southeast Texas and a second-generation Italian-American.
His grandparents came to the United States from Italy one hundred years ago and settled in Stafford, where they had farms and were founding members of their church.
His parents grew up, met, and married in Fort Bend County.
Lampson's mother and father eventually moved to Beaumont, where he was born.
Lampson is one of six children born to a welder and a homemaker.
His father died when he was 12 years old, and Lampson took his first job at that young age sweeping floors to supplement the family's income.
Lampson's mother received $19 per month from Social Security as long as he stayed in school.
This money helped his family stay together in those difficult years.
This would later influence his commitment to protecting Social Security.
Though Lampson's mother had only a fifth grade education, she encouraged her children in school, and all six graduated from college with at least one degree.
Much of Galveston County and the portion of Houston including NASA's Johnson Space Center (which had been part of the 9th since 1967) were drawn into DeLay's 22nd District.
They were replaced by several heavily Republican areas north and east of Houston.
An inner calling to be of service to others, and the experience of interning with Congressman Jack Brooks in 1969, led him to seek public office.
In 1976, Lampson was elected tax assessor-collector for Jefferson County and served nearly twenty years.
He instituted an emphasis on customer service, successfully pushed for major upgrades in computer technology, and reduced the cost of collecting taxes by $3 million a year.
He resigned from his post in order to run for congress.
His mother earned her GED on her 80th birthday.
Lampson earned a Bachelor of Science degree in biology and a master's degree in education from Lamar University, where he was a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity.
He taught high school science at Hebert High School in Beaumont.
The district had been represented by Democrat Jack Brooks for 42 years, but Brooks had been one of the most prominent Democratic incumbents to lose re-election in the "Republican Revolution" of 1994, which brought the House under the control of Republicans for the first time since the 83rd United States Congress following the 1952 elections.
Lampson won the Democratic primary with 69% of the vote.
In the general election, he defeated Stockman 53%-47%.
He won re-election to a second term against Republican Tom Cottar 64%-36%.
He won re-election to a third term against Republican Paul Williams 59%-40%.
He won re-election to a fourth term against Republican Paul Williams 59%-40%.
In the 1996 election, Lampson decided to run for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives representing Texas's 9th congressional district.
The incumbent was Republican U.S. Congressman Steve Stockman, who was a freshman in congress.
Lampson was one of the prime targets of a controversial mid-decade redistricting in 2003.
His district was renumbered as the 2nd district.
In the 2003 redistricting, DeLay drew much of Lampson's former territory into his own 22nd district, including part of Galveston County (but not Galveston city) and the Johnson Space Center.
Lampson had briefly considered a so-called "kamikaze" run against DeLay.
He moved to Stafford, a city halfway between Houston and Sugar Land, where his grandparents immigrated to from Italy.
In the 2004 election, Lampson opted to run for reelection in the 2nd District.
His Republican opponent was Ted Poe, a longtime district court judge in Harris County, home to most of Houston.
Poe defeated Lampson, 56%-43%.
Though Beaumont and Jefferson County gave Lampson a majority, he was swamped in the Harris County portion of the district, which supported Poe with 70% of the vote.
He was one of several Democratic incumbents that were successfully removed from office as a direct result of Tom Delay's controversial mid-decade redistricting plan.
On May 4, 2005, Lampson announced his candidacy in Texas's 22nd congressional district, which had been held by DeLay for 20 years.
Galveston, which along with Beaumont had anchored the district and its previous incarnations for over a century, was moved into the neighboring 14th District.
