'''John Barden Shadegg''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|ʃ|æ|d|ᵻ|ɡ}}; born October 22, 1949) is an American politician and former [[United States House of Representatives|U.S. representative]] for {{ushr|Arizona|3|}}, serving from 1995 until 2011. He is a member of the [[United States Republican Party|Republican Party]].

The district, numbered as the 4th district before the 2000 census, included much of northern [[Phoenix, Arizona|Phoenix]].

==Early life, education and career==
Shadegg is the son of Eugenia Kerr and [[Stephen Shadegg]]. The senior Shadegg, a conservative political consultant and public relations specialist, supported [[Barry Goldwater]]'s 1952, 1958, 1968, 1974, and 1980 U.S. Senate campaigns and worked with [[F. Clifton White]] and [[Peter O'Donnell (Texas businessman)|Peter O'Donnell]] to organize the [[Draft Goldwater Committee]] in the 1963–64 presidential campaign.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1990/05/24/obituaries/stephen-shadegg-goldwater-adviser-and-alter-ego-80.html|title=Stephen Shadegg, Goldwater Adviser And Alter Ego, 80|author=Glenn Fowler|date=May 24, 1990|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|access-date=August 28, 2014}}</ref>

The Shadeggs are of partial [[Swiss American|Swiss descent]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~battle/reps/shadegg.htm|title=RootsWeb.com Home Page|website=freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com|language=en|access-date=2018-05-16}}</ref>

John Shadegg was born in Phoenix and received a [[Bachelor of Arts]] from the [[University of Arizona]] at [[Tucson, Arizona|Tucson]] in 1972 and a [[Juris Doctor]] from the [[University of Arizona Law School]], also in Tucson, in 1975. He served in the [[Arizona Air National Guard]] from 1969 to 1975.

In 1975, he went to work for the law firm of Treon, Warnicke, Dann and Roush. Shadegg. In 1982, Shadegg led the re-election campaign of [[Robert K. Corbin|Robert Corbin]], for Arizona Attorney General. The election was challenged with claims that Corbin buried the prosecution looking into the murder of organized crime investigative reporter [[Don Bolles]] which Corbin's former employer was suspected in. Shadegg served as Special Assistant Attorney General for Corbin between 1983 and 1990. He was also Corbin's chief lobbyist, where he was the point man for the impeachment of Gov. [[Evan Mecham]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Executive Intelligence Review |work=LaRouche Volume 23, Number 40, October 4, 1996 |access-date=February 13, 2017 |url=http://www.larouchepub.com/eiw/public/1996/eirv23n40-19961004/index.html}}</ref>

Shadegg served as special counsel to the Arizona state House Republican caucus in 1991 and 1992 and an adviser to the [[United States Sentencing Commission]] before entering the House.

Following the 2004 election, Shadegg was elected Chairman of the [[House Republican Policy Committee]], the fifth-ranking position in the House Leadership. He was the only member of the [[Republican Revolution|Republican Class of 1994]] serving in leadership until resigning the post to run for Majority Leader in January 2006.

On January 13, 2006, Shadegg officially joined the race for the [[Majority Leader of the United States House of Representatives|House Majority Leader]] as a compromise alternative candidate to Representatives [[Roy Blunt]] and [[John Boehner]]. Shadegg received the support of the [[National Review]],<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.nationalreview.com/editorial/editors200601131656.asp |title=Editorial: Shadegg for Leader |date=January 13, 2006 |work=National Review }}</ref> the [[Club for Growth]],<ref>{{cite press release |title=Club Endorses John Shadegg |publisher=The Club for Growth |date=January 13, 2006 |url=http://www.clubforgrowth.org/2006/01/press_release_club_endorses_jo.php |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927190313/http://www.clubforgrowth.org/2006/01/press_release_club_endorses_jo.php |archive-date=September 27, 2007 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> and the [[Arizona Republic]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Editorial: Shadegg is gift GOP should open |work=The Arizona Republic |date=January 19, 2006 |url=https://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/opinions/articles/0119thur2-19.html }}</ref> Feb. 2, after Shadegg came third in the first ballot, his supporters switched to second place Boehner, ensuring Boehner's election on the second ballot.

Shadegg ran for [[Party whips of the United States House of Representatives|House Minority Whip]] following the loss of Republican control of the House in November 2006, losing to Blunt.

==Political positions==
From the [[104th United States Congress|104th&nbsp;Congress]] to the [[111th United States Congress|111th Congress]], Shadegg introduced the [[Enumerated powers#Enumerated Powers Act|Enumerated Powers Act]], although it has not been passed into law. At the beginning of the [[105th United States Congress|105th Congress]], the [[United States House of Representatives|House of Representatives]] incorporated the substantive requirement of the Enumerated Powers Act into the House rules.

In 2007, he opposed several bills to set a deadline to withdraw troops from Iraq.<ref name="postkeyvotes">{{cite news |title=Key Votes By John Shadegg |newspaper=The Washington Post |access-date=February 19, 2008 |url=http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/members/s000275/key-votes/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080311012450/http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/members/s000275/key-votes/ |archive-date=March 11, 2008 |df=mdy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=110th Congress, 1st session, House vote 186 |newspaper=The Washington Post |url=http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/110/house/1/votes/32/ }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=110th Congress, 1st session, House vote 265 |newspaper=The Washington Post |url=http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/110/house/1/votes/265/ }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=110th Congress, 1st session, House vote 624 |newspaper=The Washington Post |url=http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/110/house/1/votes/624/ }}</ref><ref>{{cite press release |url=http://johnshadegg.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=61918 |title=Shadegg Opposes Senate War Supplemental Legislation |date=March 29, 2007 |publisher=Office of U.S. Congressman John Shadegg |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070425191227/http://johnshadegg.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=61918 |archive-date=April 25, 2007 |df=mdy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=110th Congress, 1st session, House vote 32 |newspaper=The Washington Post |url=http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/110/house/1/votes/32/ }}</ref> Shadegg voted against the [[Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007]], which increased the federal minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25 an hour.<ref name="postkeyvotes" /><ref>{{cite news |title=110th Congress, 1st session, House vote 18 |newspaper=The Washington Post |url=http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/110/house/1/votes/18/ }}</ref> Shadegg voted for a bill to build a {{convert|700|mi|km|adj=on}} fence along the border between the United States and Mexico ([[Secure Fence Act of 2006]]).<ref name="postkeyvotes" /> In 2005, Shadegg voted against a bill to create a flag-burning amendment to the Constitution.<ref name="postkeyvotes" /><ref>{{cite news |title=109th Congress, 1st session, House vote 296 |newspaper=The Washington Post |url=http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/109/house/1/votes/296/ }}</ref>

Shadegg is a staunch advocate of a federal prohibition of online [[poker]].  In 2006, he cosponsored H.R. 4411, the [[Goodlatte]]-Leach Internet Gambling Prohibition Act<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d109:h.r.04411: |title=Thomas (Library of Congress): HR 4411 |access-date=August 6, 2008 |archive-date=November 25, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081125231725/http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d109:h.r.04411: |url-status=dead }}</ref> and H.R. 4777, the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d109:h.r.04777: |title=Thomas (Library of Congress): HR 4777 |access-date=August 6, 2008 |archive-date=October 18, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141018013459/http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d109:h.r.04777: |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Shadegg is vehemently opposed to the Healthcare Reform Package that was tabled in October 2009. He said the reform package is a "Soviet-style gulag health care", and will make American healthcare something akin to that available to the prisoners of Russian gulag.<ref>{{cite web|author=14 oktober 2009 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XSFbvRXNGg | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120127151820/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XSFbvRXNGg| archive-date=2012-01-27 | url-status=dead|title=Rep.

On October 14, 2009, Shadegg joined with three fellow Representatives in calling for the investigation of CAIR (the [[Council on American-Islamic Relations]]) over allegations of trying to plant "spies", based on a CAIR memo indicating that they "will develop national initiatives such as Lobby Day, and placing Muslim interns in Congressional offices."  The request came in the wake of the publication of a book, ''[[Muslim Mafia]]'', the foreword of which had been penned by Congresswoman [[Sue Myrick]], that portrayed CAIR as a subversive organization allied with international terrorists.<ref name=co>[http://www.charlotteobserver.com/topstories/story/1047173.html Doyle, Michael, "Judge: Controversial 'Muslim Mafia' used stolen papers"], ''[[Charlotte Observer]]'', November 10, 2009, accessed November 17, 2009{{dead link|date=April 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>  CAIR has countered that these initiatives are extensively used by all advocacy groups and accused Shadegg and his colleagues of intending to intimidate American Muslims who "take part in the political process and exercise their rights."<ref>{{cite news |work=Salon.com |date=October 15, 2009 |url=http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2009/10/15/investigation/index.html |title=GOP House members call for investigation of Muslim political activity |author=Glenn Greenwald }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |publisher=Capitol Hill Publishing Corp. |date=October 14, 2009 |url=https://thehill.com/homenews/house/52379-house-republicans-accuse-muslim-group-of-trying-to-plant-spies/ |title=House Republicans accuse Muslim group of trying to plant spies |author=Jordy Yager |access-date=October 17, 2009 |archive-date=December 7, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181207223906/https://thehill.com/homenews/house/63023-republicans-accuse-muslim-advocacy-group-of-trying-to-plant-spies |url-status=live }}</ref>

In November 2009, New York City Mayor [[Michael Bloomberg]] expressed confidence in the security of having five 9/11 suspects brought to trial in lower Manhattan, to which Shadegg gave an overheated response: "Well mayor, how are you going to feel when it is your daughter that is kidnapped at school by a terrorist?".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/news/2009/11/lawmaker_what_if_terrorists_took_nyc_mayors_kid.php |title=Lawmaker: What if terrorists took NYC mayor's kid &#124; TPM News Pages |publisher=Talkingpointsmemo.com |date=November 17, 2009 |access-date=March 19, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091124063640/http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/news/2009/11/lawmaker_what_if_terrorists_took_nyc_mayors_kid.php |archive-date=November 24, 2009 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> He later apologized to the mayor and his family for "the insensitivity of my remarks."

On March 17, 2010, after criticizing the lack of a [[single-payer health care]] system or an alternative [[public health insurance option|public option]] in health insurance reform proposals by the Obama administration, Shadegg, who has previously responded to the possibility of such a system as, "full on Russian gulag, Soviet-style gulag health care",<ref>{{cite web|url=http://thinkprogress.org/2009/10/14/shadegg-gulag-healthcare/|title=Rep.

On September 29, 2008, Shadegg voted against the [[Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008]] which created the [[Troubled Assets Relief Program]].<ref name="Bailout Roll Call">{{cite web|title= Bailout Roll Call | url= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/images/09/29/bailout.rollcall.0929.pdf| date= September 29, 2008 |access-date=September 29, 2008 }}</ref>

Despite his support of the second economic stimulus package bill, he voted "NO" on the first Economic Package and he also was a proponent of the [[2009 Tea Party protests]] which condemned any bailouts, and even spoke at a rally in Phoenix.<ref name="Think Progress">{{cite web|title= Republican Members of Congress embrace radical anti-Obama Protests | website= [[ThinkProgress]]| url= http://thinkprogress.org/2009/04/08/gopestablishment-joins-teaparties/| date= April 15, 2009}}</ref>

On November 30, 2010, Shadegg declared his opposition to the extension of unemployment benefits on the basis that "the unemployed will spend as little of that money as they possibly can", having commented to Mike Barnicle "Your answer is it's the spending of money that drives the economy and I don't think that's right."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://thinkprogress.org/2010/11/30/shadegg-scoffs/ |title=Rep.

==Political campaigns==
Shadegg entered the Republican primary race for Arizona's 4th District in 1994 after four-term incumbent [[Jon Kyl]] began what turned out to be a successful run for the [[United States Senate]]. Shadegg won a four-way primary with 43 percent of the vote, and won in November. He was reelected seven times.

===2006===
