  • Robert Durden "Bob" Inglis, Sr. (born October 11, 1959) is a United States congressman from the Republican Party. He has represented South Carolina's 4th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives since 2005. The district includes much of the Upstate region, including Greenville and Spartanburg. He previously represented the district from 1993 to 1999. Inglis was born in Savannah, Georgia and grew up in Bluffton, South Carolina near Hilton Head Island. He attended college at Duke University, from which he earned an undergraduate degree. He went on to gain his Juris Doctor from the University of Virginia. Upon his college graduation, he worked for a number of years as a lawyer in private practice. In 1992, Inglis made his first run for elected office when he won the Republican nomination for the 4th District. In the general election, he defeated three-term incumbent Democrat Liz J. Patterson in what is still considered an upset. Although the 4th had been trending Republican for some time, Patterson had deep family ties in the district (she is the daughter of former Senator Olin Johnston), and had won her first two terms under unfriendly conditions for Democrats. Proving just how Republican this district had become, Inglis was reelected in 1994 and 1996 with no substantive opposition. He'd promised during his initial bid for Congress to serve no more than three terms (six years) in Congress. He made good on his promise when he vacated the seat in 1998 to run for the Senate against venerable Democratic incumbent Ernest Hollings. One of the more heated and covered moments of the race was when Hollings referred to Inglis as a "goddamn skunk. " After losing the race, Inglis returned to work as a lawyer, practicing commercial real estate and corporate law. He was succeeded by one of his former aides, Jim DeMint. In 2004, DeMint opted to run for Hollings' now open Senate seat instead of seeking reelection to the House. Inglis chose to take his old House seat back. He easily won a three-way Republican primary with 85 percent of the vote, all but assuring his return to Congress. He was reelected with little difficulty in 2006 and 2008. When not in Washington, Inglis currently resides on a small farm near Travelers Rest, South Carolina, north of Greenville. He lives with his wife Mary Anne and has five children. He is a member of Redeemer Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Greenville.
