Everything about Roscoe Bartlett totally explained

Roscoe Gardner Bartlett,(born June 3 1926) is a professor and a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives, representing the 6th district of Maryland since 1993.

Early life, career, and family

Bartlett was born in Moreland, Kentucky to Martha Minnick and Roscoe Gardner Bartlett. He completed his early education in a one-room schoolhouse. He attended Columbia Union College, a college affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and graduated in 1947 with a B.S. in theology and biology and a minor in chemistry. He had intended to be a Seventh-Day Adventist minister, but he was considered too young for the ministry after receiving his bachelor's degree at the age of 21.
Afterwards, Bartlett was encouraged to attend graduate school at the University of Maryland, College Park. He studied anatomy, physiology, and zoology, earning a Master's degree in physiology in 1948. Bartlett was then hired as a faculty member at Maryland and taught anatomy, physiology and zoology while working towards his Ph.D. in physiology, which he earned in 1952. His academic career included lecturing at Loma Linda School of Medicine, also affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, in Loma Linda, California (1952–1954), and serving as an assistant professor at Howard University Medical School in Washington, D.C. (1954–1956). He also pursued careers as a research scientist, inventor, business owner, and farmer.
Bartlett and his wife Ellen have 10 children, of which one, Joseph R. Bartlett is a member of the Maryland House of Delegates, and 12 grandchildren. He has since retired from teaching and building homes, but continues to raise sheep and goats on his farm.

Congressional career

In 1982, Bartlett was an unsuccessful candidate for Congress against incumbent Democrat Beverly Byron. A decade later, however, he was successfully elected to Congress by the sixth district of Maryland — the western and more conservative part of the state. Byron, had been defeated in the primary, and many conservative Democrats switched their support to Bartlett in November. However, it was later reported that Bartlett took a more extensive role in the ceremony, carrying Moon's robe to Moon for the coronation, in which Moon and his wife were declared "messiahs of the world." Bartlett had also been listed on the original invitation as one of six Congressional co-chairs of the event. Bartlett's spokeswoman told Christian Challenge that Bartlett "received the Ambassadors for Peace Award from the Washington Times Foundation for his work in Congress, and attended part of the banquet ... this was the sum total of his participation ... His attendance in no way reflects an endorsement of what the Rev. Moon said or did at that event, or at any other time." In the 2004 election cycle, Melissa Bartlett was paid $17,177 for fundraising and an additional $6,058 for reimbursements. Bartlett's largest request was for $87 million for "operationally responsive space." His spokeswoman didn't know what that means.

Quotes

"I'm not interested in politics, I'm interested in my country. I'm a conservative who wants to help restore the limited federal government envisioned and established in the Constitution by our nation's founders. I want to ensure that future generations of Americans will have the same opportunities for success that I did."

"Upholding the Constitution, including the entire Bill of Rights, and maintaining a strong defense should be our priorities. If we don't get these priorities right, nothing else will matter."

"One barrel of oil, 42 gallons of oil, equals the productivity of 25,000 manhours. That is the equivalent of having 60 dedicated servants that do nothing but work for someone." (External Link
