&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Rodney Dennis Chandler&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (born July 13, 1942) is an American politician and journalist who served five terms as a [[United States House of Representatives|U.S. Representative]] from [[Washington (state)|Washington]] from 1983 to 1993.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is the great-great-grandnephew of long-time U.S. Senator [[Zachariah Chandler]] of [[Michigan]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Early career ==&lt;br /&gt;
Rod Chandler received a [[Bachelor of Science|B.S.]] from [[Eastern Oregon University|Eastern Oregon College]] and a [[Master of Education|M.Ed.]] from the [[University of Nevada, Las Vegas]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before entering politics, Chandler worked as a [[News broadcasting#Television news|television news]] [[correspondent]] and a [[public relations]] [[consultant]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Political career ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== State legislature ===&lt;br /&gt;
He was elected to the [[Washington State Legislature|Washington House of Representatives]] in 1974.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Congress ===&lt;br /&gt;
In 1982 he was elected as a [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] to the 98th Congress, representing the newly created {{ushr|Washington|8|8th congressional district}}. In that race, he defeated [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] candidate Beth Bland by a margin of 57% to 43%.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.sos.wa.gov/elections/results_report.aspx?e=31&amp;amp;c=Chandler&amp;amp;c2=&amp;amp;t=&amp;amp;t2=1&amp;amp;p=&amp;amp;p2=&amp;amp;y= |title=Washington Secretary of State, 1982 General Election Results – U.S. Representative, 8th District |publisher=vote.wa.gov |date= |accessdate=October 2, 2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He held the seat for five terms, until he gave up his seat for an unsuccessful candidacy for the [[United States Senate]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1989 Chandler revealed publicly that he is a recovering [[alcoholic]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/19920216/1476135/chandler-shocks-with-tales-of-spirits----he-uses-examples-from-his-days-of-drunkenness-to-stress-seriousness-of-problems-of-alcoholism community.seattletimes.nwsource.com]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Senate campaign ===&lt;br /&gt;
In 1992, one of Washington’s [[United States Senate | U.S. Senate]] seats came open when the incumbent, [[Brock Adams]], announced his retirement amidst a personal scandal.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news | author=Mark Matassa and David Schaefer | title=Who&amp;#039;ll Run for Adams&amp;#039; Seat? -- Scramble on After Senator Withdraws | newspaper=[[Seattle Times]] | date=March 2, 1992}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Democratic [[Washington State Senate|state Senator]] [[Patty Murray]] won the Democratic primary and faced Chandler in the general election. For much of the race, Chandler seemed to have the upper hand, but during a debate in the later stages of the campaign he inexplicably responded to Murray&amp;#039;s criticism for spending $120,000 on congressional mailings during an economic recession by quoting the [[Roger Miller]] song &amp;quot;[[Dang Me]]&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.seattlepi.com/connelly/285755_joel20.html Cantwell snubs McGavick on debates] By Joel Connelly &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Seattle Post-Intelligencer]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; By association, Chandler was further damaged by the unpopularity in the Pacific Northwest of incumbent President [[George H. W. Bush]], who was largely blamed for the recession.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Later career ==&lt;br /&gt;
Chandler taught [[Advanced Placement Program|Advanced Placement]] Government classes at [[Eaglecrest High School]] in [[Centennial, Colorado|Centennial]], [[Colorado]] until the end of the 2006–07 school year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chandler endorsed [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]] [[Joe Biden]] during the [[2020 United States presidential election]], wanting to prevent the re-election of President [[Donald Trump]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://republicansforbiden.net/news/post-1/ |title=Prominent Republicans and Independents, Led by Former Governor Christine Todd Whitman, Launch New Coalition Uniting Conservatives to Take on Trump and Elect Joe Biden |publisher=Republicans and Independents for Biden |last=Whitman |first=Christine Todd |date=September 3, 2020 |access-date=September 3, 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Chandler was one of 12 former Republican U.S. Representatives who filed an [[amicus brief]] in [[Trump v. Anderson]], supporting the [[Colorado Supreme Court]]&amp;#039;s decision to disqualify former President Donald Trump as a candidate in the 2024 Presidential Election. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2024-02-07 |title=There&amp;#039;s one WA Republican willing to fight Trump — but only one |url=https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/theres-one-wa-republican-willing-to-fight-trump-but-only-one/ |access-date=2024-02-07 |website=The Seattle Times |language=en-US}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chandler is a member of the ReFormers Caucus of [[Issue One]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://www.issueone.org/reformers/ |title = ReFormers Caucus - Issue One| year=2023 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
