In 1964, he graduated from Aitkin High School in Aitkin, Minnesota. In 1968, he graduated from Saint Cloud State University in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

Elections

In 1996, Hill ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in Montana's At-large congressional district.[1] He won the Republican primary with a plurality of 44% of the vote. In the general election, he defeated Democrat Bill Yellowtail, who had been a Regional Administrator for the United States Environmental Protection Agency,[3] 52%-43%.[4] In November 1998, Hill won re-election to a second term, defeating Democratic nominee Dusty Deschamps 53%-44%.[5]

In 2000, Hill decided not to run for re-election to a third term, citing vision problems, which were subsequently corrected. The election was won by Republican nominee Denny Rehberg, who defeated Nancy Keenan,[6] a three-term State School Superintendent.[7]

Between 1997 and 2000, Hill sponsored 32 bills, of which 22 did not made it out of committee and four were passed into law by Congress.[8] He voted with the Republican party 91% of the time.[9]
