  • Edward Lee "Ed" Schrock is a Republican politician who was a member of the United States House of Representatives from January 2001 to January 2005, representing the Second Congressional District of Virginia. Born in Middletown, Ohio, Schrock earned a degree from Alderson-Broaddus College in 1964 and a Masters Degree in Public Relations from American University in 1975. He also served in the United States Navy from 1964 to 1988, including two tours of duty in Vietnam. Schrock then worked as an investment broker and served in the Virginia State Senate from 1995 to 2001. In 2000, he was elected to the U.S. House seat in Virginia's 2nd District, defeating the Democratic Party nominee, Jody Wagner, a Norfolk attorney who later became State Treasurer of Virginia. During his four years in Congress, he served on the Armed Services Committee, Budget Committee, Small Business Committee, and Government Reform Committee. In his first term in Congress, Schrock was elected president of the Republican Freshman Class. Schrock announced on August 30, 2004, that he would abort his 2004 attempt for a third term in Congress after being caught on tape soliciting sex from a gay prostitute. In the weeks before his announcement, Michael Rogers' blogACTIVE. com had said that Schrock is gay — or at least a bisexual — despite having aggressively opposed various gay-rights issues in Congress such as same-sex marriage and gays in the military. On November 2, in the general election, fellow Republican Thelma Drake was elected to replace Schrock. Drake took office in January 2005. In December 2004, Representative Tom Davis, another Virginia Republican, hired Schrock to serve as the top staff person for one of the subcommittees of the Government Reform Committee, which Davis chairs and on which Schrock had served. Schrock was included in the 2009 documentary Outrage, which profiles public officials who have voted in favor of anti-gay legislation.
