Richard Craig Shelby (born May 6,
1934) is an American politician serving as the senior United States Senator from Alabama. First elected to the U.S. Senate in 1986,
he is the Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, succeeding Thad Cochran. He previously served as Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs and Senate Committee on Rules and Administration. He is the
longest serving U.S. Senator from Alabama, surpassing John Sparkman who held the previous record. Born in Birmingham, Alabama,
Shelby received his law degree from the Birmingham School of Law in
1961. After law school in 1963, he went on to serve as city prosecutor
(1963–1971). During this period he worked as a U.S. Magistrate for
the Northern District of Alabama (1966–1970) and Special
Assistant Attorney General of Alabama (1969–1971).
He won a seat in the Alabama Senate in
1970. In 1978, he was elected from the 7th House of Representatives, where he was among a group of Conservative Democrats known
as the boll weevils. In 1986,
Shelby won a tight race as a Democrat for
the U.S. Senate. In 1994, the day after the Republican Revolution in
which the GOP gained the majority in Congress midway
through President Bill Clinton's first term,
Shelby switched party affiliations and became a Republican.
Shelby was re-elected by a large margin in 1998 and
has faced no significant electoral opposition since. He is currently the dean
of the Alabama delegation.
