Robert Blaemire

Robert Blaemire has been a participant in politics all of his adult life. Born and raised in Indiana, his career began at the age of 18 upon entering George Washington University. His employment with Senator Birch Bayh (D-IN) began in 1967 and concluded with Bayh’s election defeat in 1980. Those 13 years saw Bob rise in the Senate Office with campaign experience that began by traveling with the candidate throughout the 1974 re-election campaign and ended as Political Director of the 1980 campaign.

Bob completed his B.A. in Political Science and his M.A. in Legislative Affairs at George Washington University.

After the 1980 defeat, he founded The Committee for American Principles, seeking to combat the growing role and influence of the New Right in political campaigns.

He began providing political computer services in 1982 before it was a business in politics as it is now. He owned his own firm for 17 years and left the business only to write a biography of Senator Bayh, which was published in 2019.

Bob lives in Chevy Chase, Maryland and has two sons, two daughters-in-law, and three grandchildren.
