Randall Mark Hultgren[1] (/ˈhʌltɡrən/; born March 1, 1966) is an American politician who has been the U.S. Representative for Illinois's 14th congressional district since 2011. He is a member of the Republican Party.

Hultgren previously represented the 48th district Senate seat in the Illinois General Assembly from 2007 to 2011. The 48th Senate District includes parts of DuPage, Kane, and Will counties and all or part of Aurora, Batavia, Geneva, Naperville, North Aurora, Warrenville, West Chicago, Wheaton, and Winfield.

Early life, education, and early political career

Hultgren graduated from Wheaton Academy in 1984, and from Bethel University in 1988 (magna cum laude). He earned a juris doctor from Chicago-Kent College of Law in 1993.[2][3]

Hultgren has been Republican Precinct Committeeman for Milton Township Precinct #20; Member of DuPage County Board; Board of Directors for the DuPage Homeownership Center. He was first elected to the DuPage County Board in 1994 to represent the 4th district.[3]

Illinois House of Representatives

Elections

In 1998, incumbent Republican State Representative Peter Roskam of Illinois' 40th House District decided to retire in order to run for Congress. Hultgren ran and won unopposed.[4] He won re-election to a second term unopposed in 2000.[5] After redistricting, Hultgren decided to run in the newly redrawn 95th House District and defeated Democrat Dirk Enger 61%–37%.[6]

Committee assignments

Hultgren was on the Death Penalty Committee[7] and the Education Committee.[8]

Illinois Senate

Elections

In 2006, incumbent State Senator Peter Roskam of Illinois' 48th Senate District decided to retire to run for Congress again. Hultgren ran and won the Republican primary 60%–40% over Naperville City Councilman Dick Furstenau.[9] He won the general election unopposed.[10] In 2008, he won re-election to a second term unopposed.[11]

U.S. House of Representatives

Elections

2010

On September 28, 2009, Hultgren announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination in Illinois's 14th congressional district and won the party's nomination in the February 2nd primary election.[12] Hultgren defeated Democratic incumbent Bill Foster 51%–45%.[13][14]

2012

During his first term, Hultgren represented a hybrid suburban-rural district that stretched from the outer western suburbs of Chicago through Dixon all the way to Cambridge on the other side of the state.

As a result of the decennial reapportionment following the 2010 Census, Illinois lost one seat in the US House of Representatives. The new district map (now featuring only 18 districts, and drawn by the Democratic-controlled Illinois General Assembly), saw Hultgren's district lose its vast western portion, becoming a much more compact district centered around the outer western suburbs of Chicago.

The new 14th included areas previously represented in the 8th district, represented by fellow Republican Joe Walsh. The new map drew Walsh's home into the 14th while making the 8th significantly more Democratic, prompting Walsh to consider challenging Hultgren in the primary for the much friendlier 14th. However, soon after Hultgren sought a second term in the 14th, Walsh decided to run in the 8th district. In the general election, Hultgren won re-election to a second term, beating Democratic candidate Dennis Anderson, with 59% of the vote.[15]

2014

Hultgren ran for a third term and was opposed by Dennis Anderson for a second time. Hultgren again defeated Anderson, this time with 65% of the vote.[16][17]

2016

Hultgren defeated Democrat Jim Walz in the November 2016 general election with 59% of the vote.[18]

2018

In the March 20, 2018, primary, Lauren Underwood won the Democratic nomination with 57.35% of the vote. Others receiving votes were Matt Brolley, Jim Walz, Victor Swanson, John Hosta, George Weber, and Daniel Roldan-Johnson.[19]

Tenure

Hultgren has been serving on the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe[20] (Helsinki Commission) since 2015.[21] In this role, he works “to promote human rights, stability, and security in the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly (OSCE PA) region” and places “special priority in protecting religious liberties, preventing human rights violations, combating human trafficking, and preventing Russian aggression into neighboring countries.” Hultgren is also a Commissioner on the Congressional-Executive Commission on China, where “he works to raise awareness about political prisoners who are being deprived of civil and political rights by their own government.”[22]

In February 2017, Hultgren was appointed the co-chair of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, which “promotes international human rights through hearings, briefings and other awareness-building activities, and by providing expertise on key issues”.[23]

Political positions

As of 10 July 2017, Hultgren voted with his party in 99.1% of votes so far in the current session of Congress and voted in line with President Donald Trump's position in 97.3% of votes.[28][29]

Hultgren has been described as a member of the Tea Party movement.[30]

Domestic issues

Education

Hultgren has been an advocate for homeschooling, as his four children are home-schooled, and he believes that "homeschooling is the ultimate local control."[31] In 2011, Hultgren introduced the Family Educational Records Privacy Extension Act (H.R. 2910), which would have required "parental consent before educational agencies or institutions release the educational records of home-schooled students."[32]

Environment

Hultgren opposes federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions.[33] He has described cap-and-trade as "an irresponsible policy".[34] In February 2017, he voted to repeal the Stream Protection Rule, a regulation that required coal companies to restore streams and mined areas to their pre-development conditions.[28] In February 2017, he voted in favor of repealing a rule that required energy companies to disclose payments to foreign governments.[28]

In 2010 Hultgren signed a pledge sponsored by Americans for Prosperity, promising to vote against any climate-change legislation that would raise taxes.[35] The League of Conservation Voters gave Hultgren an environmental rating of 0% for 2017 and a lifetime rating of 5%.[36]

Gun control

Hultgren is a strong supporter of the second amendment. In April 2018, after the Parkland, Florida, school shooting, Hultgren urged schools and police to do a better job of identifying and intervening with people who are potential threats. “We need to do more to make sure people who are speaking out and acting out or have mental challenges don't get weapons, that people who have criminal histories don't get weapons, and when hearing of a threat we respond quickly,” Hultgren said.[37]

Health care

Hultgren favors repealing the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).[33][34] On May 4, 2017, Hultgren voted to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and to pass the American Health Care Act.[38][39][40]

Hultgren supported a bill that would allow employers to exclude veterans receiving health insurance from the United States Department of Defense or the United States Department of Veterans' Affairs from their list of employees.[41][42] This would have the effect of keeping their list of employees shorter, allowing some small businesses to fall underneath the 50 full-time employees line that would require them to provide their employees with healthcare under the requirements of the Affordable Care Act.[42]

Identity fraud

Hultgren and three other Members of Congress sponsored the Protecting Children from Identity Theft Act, H.R. 5192, which would require the Social Security Administration (SSA) to take a more active role in preventing identity theft.[43]

Donald Trump

Hultgren endorsed businessman and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.[44]

Economic issues

National debt

In 2013, Hultgren voted for legislation stop an increase of the debt limit, which led to a government shutdown.[45][46] Hultgren was the only congressperson from Illinois to vote against an agreement to reopen government and end the government shutdown.[45][46]

Taxes

Hultgren has sponsored legislation to permanently repeal the estate tax and has voted several times to repeal the tax.[47][48]

In November 2017, Hultgren and Peter Roskam introduced the Bring Small Business back Tax Reform Act as part of the Trump Administration's tax reform package. The bill, said Hultgren, was intended “to cut the overall small business tax rate to 25 percent,” a change that he said would “provide much-needed relief to the engine of Illinois' economy.”[49]

Tariffs

In June 2018, Hultgren and Peter Roskam expressed their disapproval of President's Trump plan to impose tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and the European Union. “There's real concern about what an escalating trade war would mean,” said Hultgren, who articulated concern about the impact of such tariffs on manufacturers and farmers in his district.[50]

Budget

Hultgren supports a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution.[51]

Hultgren and Andy Barr (R-KY) introduced legislation that would compel the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to study the privacy risks associated with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Home Mortgage Disclosure Act rule. The legislation would also prohibit depository institutions, the CFPB, and the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council from making available to the public any information gathered in accordance with the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act.[52]

Banking

On March 6, 2018, the House passed without opposition H.R. 4725, the Community Bank Reporting Relief Act, sponsored by Hultgren and two other Members of Congress. The law simplifies reporting requirements for community banks. “The role of smaller financial institutions is especially important in more rural areas, such as my district, where larger banks tend to not have as many branches” Hultgren stated.[53]

Corporations

Hultgren is a vocal opponent of the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which created new financial regulations after the financial crisis.[54] He has called Dodd-Frank "flawed"[55] and introduced Republican-backed legislation to put an end Dodd-Frank.[54] Hultgren supported the Financial CHOICE Act, another Republican-backed bill to dismantle Dodd-Frank; the legislation would eliminate the Treasury Department's Office of Financial Research, kill the Volcker Rule (which bars certain banks from particular risky trades); kill the Orderly Liquidation Authority (which allows the federal government to shut down failing banks that post a systemic risk to the economy); and remove a provision imposing greater oversight on "systemically important financial institutions."[56] Hultgren introduced the Swaps Regulatory Improvement Act into the House in March 2013; the bill would roll back Dodd-Frank regulations and expand banks' authority to use swaps to hedging risk.[57][58] The bill passed the House but not the Senate, and did not become law.[59]

Hultgren has been a strong advocate of municipal finance and tax-exempt municipal bonds.[60] In 2013, he joined with fellow U.S. Representative Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD) in securing the signatures of 137 House Republicans and Democrats in a letter to congressional leaders "reject any proposal to cap or eliminate the deduction on tax-exempt municipal bonds used to finance the vast majority of infrastructure projects in America’s communities."[61] The two circulated a similar letter in 2015[62] and formed the Municipal Finance Caucus in 2016.[63]

International issues

Immigration

"Immigration is a foundational part of who we are...to be a place of refuge," he told the Chicago Tribune in September 2017. "I understand that there are bad actors and terrorists out there ... but I don't want to shut off opportunity for people who really need refuge."[64]

In December 2015, citing religious freedom, he criticized presidential candidate Donald Trump's proposal to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. “Singling out any faith community for the actions of extremists is not conservative, it is hostile to our founding,” Hultgren said.[65]

Human rights in China

In September 2017, Hultgren hosted a screening Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei's new film "Human Flow," which is about the refugee crisis in 23 countries. Hultgren, noted the Chicago Tribune, had “taken up the cause of Zhu Yufu, a Chinese dissident poet jailed for publishing pro-democracy poetry.”[66]

On February 14, 2018, Hultgren delivered a statement on the House floor wishing a happy birthday to Zhu Yufu, a prisoner of conscience in China, and calling on Chinese authorities to release him from detention. Hultgren had “adopted” Zhu Yufu to highlight his plight as part of the Defending Freedoms Project, a joint effort by the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), and Amnesty International USA. The next day, the Lantos Commission, which Hultgren co-chairs, hosted a hearing on prisoners of conscience.[67]

Russia

Hultgren supported H.R. 3364, the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, which became law in August 2017. It authorized sanctions against Iran, North Korea, and Russia. Hultgren also welcomed the indictment in February 2018 of 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities. In March 2018, Hultgren expressed approval of Congressional sanctions on “Russian individuals and entities” who had engaged in “long-running, coordinated and malicious attempts to influence and disrupt our American elections and political system.” He also welcomed the Trump Administration's implementation of the sanctions. “These actions send a clear message that our electoral system is not to be tampered with, and the United States will respond when we or our allies are attacked.” he said.[68]

Social issues

Abortion

Hultgren is described by Vote Smart as pro-life.[33] He favors a prohibition on embryonic stem cell research.[34]

Sex education

Hultgren sponsored legislation to allocate $110 million per year in federal grants for abstinence education in schools.[69][70]

LGBT rights

Hultgren opposes same-sex marriage.[33] He voted in favor of the Defense of Marriage Act.[71]

Media

He has voted in favor of terminating funding for National Public Radio.[34]

Internet privacy

In March 2017, Hultgren voted to reverse a Federal Communications Commission privacy rule that prevented internet service providers from to selling their customers' browsing data.[28]

Basic research

Hultgren has been described by the American Physical Society as an "outspoken advocate for basic scientific research and STEM education."[72] According to NBC Chicago, "the conservative Republican has carved a reputation as a pro-science, pro-STEM education supporter."[73]

Hultgren went on record to note that "The U.S. research system is unique. We’ve found an incredibly powerful combination, wedding education and research by incorporating universities, user facilities and Department of Energy resources. But this system is only as stable our commitment to it, which is why sustained and predictable research funding is crucial."[74]

Along with then United States Senator Mark Udall (D-CO), Hultgren was awarded the George Brown Science Technology Engineering Leadership award by the Science, Technology, Engineering Working Group,[72] a coalition of pro-science groups including The American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Institute of Physics, ASME, et al.[75]

In October 2012, Hultgren was a recipient of the Champion of Science Award by the Science Coalition, a non-profit advocacy group composed of the 50 leading research universities in the United States.[76][77] The award was presented by Fermilab Director Pier Oddone and University of Illinois President Robert Easter along with University of Chicago President Robert Zimmer, who noted that "Congressman Hultgren provides a strong voice for science in Congress."[76]

Hultgren introduced the American Super Computing Leadership Act (H.R. 2495; 113th Congress) into the House on June 25, 2013.[78] The bill would require the United States Department of Energy to improve and increase its use of high-end computers, especially exascale computing, through an organized research program.[79][80]

Women's rights

He voted against reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act in 2013.[34]

Personal life

Hultgren currently resides in Plano, Illinois with his wife, Christy, and four children who have been home-schooled.[31][81]
