"Joseph R. \"Joe\" Pitts (born October 10, 1939) is a Republican Congressman for the state of Pennsylvania, currently representing Pennsylvania's 16th congressional district in the U.S. House since 1997. The district is based in Lancaster and includes much of Amish country. It also includes most of Reading and the far southwestern suburbs of Philadelphia. Pitts was born in Lexington, Kentucky, and he graduated from Asbury College. Pitts served five and a half years in the United States Air Force, with three tours in Vietnam. Initially commissioned as a Second Lieutenant, he was promoted to Captain by the time he left the service. He graduated second in his class from Navigator School, after which he was trained as an Electronic Warfare officer. As an EW officer, he served on B-52 Stratofortresss out of Westover Air Force Base, Massachusetts, with payloads of nuclear bombs. In all, he completed 116 combat missions in the Vietnam War and earned an Air Medal with five oak leaf clusters. After leaving the Air Force in 1969, he moved to Kennett Square, Pennsylvania; a suburb of Philadelphia and the hometown of his wife, Ginny. They built a house there, where they still live today. Pitts was elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 1972, representing part of Chester County. After 10-term Republican congressman Bob Walker opted not to run for reelection in 1996, Pitts won a crowded four-way primary. This was tantamount to election in this heavily Republican district. He has been reelected six times with no substantive opposition, and faced no major-party opposition in 2002. Pitts has a very conservative voting record, which is not surprising given the nature of his district; the 16th is one of the most Republican districts in the Northeast. Since his first term has been chairman of the Values Action Team, a subgroup of the Republican Study Committee that coordinates legislation with the Christian right. Pitts visited Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban and Pakistan in 2002. Pitts is a staunch advocate of a federal prohibition of online poker. In 2006, he cosponsored H.R. 4411, the Goodlatte-Leach Internet Gambling Prohibition Act and H.R. 4777, the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act. In recent years, he has taken a leading role in advocacy for religious prisoners overseas and human rights crises, like Burma, Western Sahara, and Kashmir. Pitts has used his office to build relationships with ambassadors from other countries in hopes of building ties between people from those nations and his constituents. This has yielded shipments of aid to developing nations."@en ;
