Sad News - Congressman Paul Gillmour (R-OH) Dies

Gillmor, the deputy minority whip, was in his 10th term in the House and was a member of the House Committee on Financial Services, and the ranking Republican on the Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit. He also served on the Subcommittee on Capital Markets, Insurance and Government Sponsored-Enterprises and the Subcommittee on Housing and Community Opportunity.

He received a bachelor of arts degree from Ohio Wesleyan Univ. and a law degree from the Univ. of Michigan Law School. The 2006, Roll Call newspaper listed him as the 43rd richest member of Congress, with an estimated net worth of $6.16 million. He formerly ran a financial services company. Gillmor was a Captain, USAF and a Vietnam Veteran (1965-1966).
