Robert Hamilton

Robert Hamilton is campaigning for a seat in the United States House of Representatives. A Fallbrook resident, he is running against Darrell Issa in the 49th District. Issa is one of the wealthiest members of Congress and Hamilton is fighting an uphill battle. The Democratic National Committee thinks that the 49th is a safe seat for the conservative and are not helping Bob with fundraising. This is unfortunate because I know Bob and he is a centrist and a voice for moderation in a district that surely needs one.

Robert Hamilton has decades of executive experience in the financial services sector with Bank of America and American Express. He has been recognized for excellence in business communications, for maintaining a broad view of complex financial issues and for exercising sound business judgment. Hamilton is bilingual, fluent in Spanish, and has extensive business experience domestically as well as in South and Central America and Europe. He has lived in Cuba, Venezuela, Brazil, and Spain.

Hamilton is a 1968 UCLA graduate with a BA in Political Science. A Vietnam War veteran, he served aboard US Naval Destroyer USS Brinkley Bass (DD-887) as an Anti-Submarine Warfare Officer and a Nuclear Weapons Officer in 1969 and 1970, with action in the Vietnamese coastal waters. Robert Hamilton and his wife Jenifer were married in 1971 and have three adult children.

He has a quick wit and a remarkable breadth of knowledge. Follow the link to a short interview with him in yesterday's San Diego Union Tribune by clicking on his name above.
