Congressman John Boozman, a successful businessman and life-long resident of Arkansas, is in his fifth term representing the Third District of Arkansas in the United States House of Representatives.
After graduating Northside High School in Fort Smith, Boozman played football for the University of Arkansas Razorbacks while completing his pre-optometry requirements. He graduated from the Southern College of Optometry in 1977 and entered private practice that same year as co-founder of Boozman-Hof Regional Eye Clinic in Rogers, which has become a major provider of eye care to Northwest Arkansas.
Boozman currently serves on three House committees: Veterans Affairs, Transportation & Infrastructure and Foreign Affairs. In the 109th Congress, he was appointed Chairman of the Veterans Affairs Economic Opportunity Subcommittee which focuses on ensuring veterans have a smooth transition to civilian life. In the 110th Congress, Boozman returned as a leader of the subcommittee, this time as the group’s ranking member and he will serve in that position again in the 111th Congress. In February of 2008 Boozman was named ranking member of the Water Resources and Environment Subcommittee which has jurisdiction over water resources development, conservation and management, water pollution control, water infrastructure, and hazardous waste cleanup. Boozman will serve in that position again in the 111th Congress.
In the 110th Congress, Boozman affirmed his commitment to America’s military veterans, authoring the Military Eye Trauma Treatment Act – which was made part of the 2008 Defense Authorization bill – and the reinstatement of veteran work study benefits under the GI Bill.
In January 2003, Boozman was named an Assistant Whip, a position he still retains, making him responsible for helping House Republican Whip Eric Cantor secure the votes necessary to pass critical legislation.
Boozman was also named to the Speaker’s Task Force for a Drug-Free America in 2003. The task force advised then House Speaker Dennis Hastert on major drug policy issues and advocates common sense legislative solutions to our nation’s illegal drug problem.
Boozman also currently serves as member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Parliamentary Assembly (NATO PA), which is an inter-parliamentary organization of legislators from the 19 member countries of NATO and 20 associate countries. In 2008, Boozman co-presented a report entitled “The Rise of the Indian Economy: Transatlantic and Global Implications.”
