JOHN HOEVEN
Democrat - North Dakota
Senator
John Hoeven BIOGRAPHICAL FACTS:
John Hoeven (Born. March 13, 1957, in Bismarck, North Dakota) is a Republican member of the U.S. Senate from the state of North Dakota. Hoeven first took office in January 3, 2011, and is currently serving his first term.
John Hoeven (Born. March 13, 1957, in Bismarck, North Dakota) is a Republican member of the U.S. Senate from the state of North Dakota. Hoeven first took office in January 3, 2011, and is currently serving his first term. He was elected to the Senate in 2010, having defeated Democratic-Nonpartisan League candidate Tracy Potter and Libertarian Keith J. Hanson in the general election on November 2, 2010. Hoeven's seat will come up for election again in 2016 and his term expires January 3, 2017.

Prior to joining the U.S. Senate, Hoeven spent 10 years serving as North Dakota's 31st governor. When Hoeven ran for, and won, election to Congress, he was still in the middle of his third term as governor. In order to assume his Senate seat, he had to resign the governor's post. The vacancy created by Hoeven's transition out of the state's chief executive office activated the lieutenant governor's duty as first in the line of succession. Fellow Republican Jack Dalrymple -- Hoeven's running-mate in 2000, 2004 and 2008 -- officially took over as governor in January 2011. Dalrymple went on to win a full term in the office in 2012.

Hoeven's professional background includes over a decade as a bank executive. Most notably, he spent the seven years leading up to his election as governor in the role of president and CEO of the Bank of North Dakota. Until his major debut on the state government stage during his successful 2000 gubernatorial campaign, Hoeven's career and name were tied predominantly to his work in the private sector. However, from 1998 to 2000, Hoeven boosted his political profile through his service as 47th District chair of the North Dakota Republican Party.

Based on analysis of multiple outside rankings, Hoeven is a more moderate right of center Republican Party vote. As a result, he may break with the Republican Party line more than his fellow members.

Biography

Hoeven was born in Bismarck, ND. He holds a bachelor's degree from Dartmouth College and a master's degree from Northwestern University. After graduating from Northwestern in 1981, Hoeven entered the private sector work force. In 1986, he began a nearly fifteen year career as a banking executive. Hoeven spent six years as executive vice president for First Western Bank. He went on to hold the title of president and CEO of the Bank of North Dakota. Hoeven left the latter post in 2000 in order to become Governor of North Dakota. He served 10 years in the governorship before his election to the U.S. Senate. From 1998 to 2000, prior to his first election to statewide political office, Hoeven served as chairman of the North Dakota Republican Party's 47th District.
