Biography

A 1969 graduate of Yale University, he worked as a legislative aide to U. S. Senator Marlow Cook from 1971 to 1975. Yarmuth is best known as the publisher of several alternative newspapers, the most notable of which, the Louisville Eccentric Observer, he founded in 1990 and sold in 2003. He has also been featured on several television debate programs. He and his wife Catherine have one son. [1]

2006 elections

Yarmuth, having been a long record of written positions, was expected to be a weak opponent for the seat of Rep. Anne Northup. The race, however, was markedly close. Yarmuth's anti-Iraq war positions forced Northup to join a small number of Republicans in calling for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's resignation.[2]

Yarmuth is against tax-cuts for the rich and supports a national universal health care plan.[3]

Yarmuth defeated Republican Rep. Anne Northrup 51%-47%. [4]
