Ron Marlenee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ronald Charles Marlenee (born August 8, 1935) is a Republican politician who served in the United States House of Representatives from the U.S. state of Montana from January 3, 1977, January 3, 1993.

He was born in Scobey, Montana. With the 1990 Census, Montana lost one of its two seats in the House of Representatives. A statewide showdown occurred between the states' two representatives, Marlenee and Democrat Pat Williams. In the House elections of 1992 election, Williams defeated Marlenee to become Montana's sole congressman. The Montana representative hence has more constitutents than any of the other 434 U.S. House members. The state has more population for one regular-sized House seat but not enough for two.
