James Marvin Ramstad (born May 6, 1946)[1] is an American politician from the U.S. state of Minnesota.

Early life

Ramstad was born in Jamestown, North Dakota. He was educated at the University of Minnesota and the George Washington University Law School. He was an officer in the United States Army Reserve from 1968 to 1974.[2] He also worked as a private practice attorney and as a legislative aide to the Minnesota House of Representatives.

Career

Ramstad was Republican member of the Minnesota State Senate from 1981 to 1990 before entering the U.S. Congress. He served in the 102nd, 103rd, 104th, 105th, 106th, 107th, 108th, 109th, and 110th congresses, beginning on January 3, 1991. He first defeated former Minneapolis city councilman Lou DeMars in the 1990 election.

On September 17, 2007 Ramstad announced he would not seek reelection in 2008.[3] He reiterated his statement on December 19, 2007.[4]

Ramstad considered ending discrimination against those suffering from mental health and addiction problems a major part of his legacy, and worked under both Republican and Democratic majorities to pass a Mental Health Parity Bill. Mental Health Parity was eventually passed and signed into law in December, 2008.[5]

Ramstad was mentioned as a possible candidate for Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy in the administration of President Barack Obama.[6] However, the position eventually went to former Seattle police chief Gil Kerlikowske.

Ramstad considered running for Governor of Minnesota in the 2010 election,[7] but decided not to.[8]

He was considered to be the most moderate Republican member of the Minnesota delegation in the 109th Congress, scoring 68 percent conservative by a conservative group[12] and 21% progressive by a liberal group.[13]
