Steve LaTourette began his career as a public defender before becoming Lake County Prosecutor in 1989, where he made his name prosecuting the Kirtland mass murders that were organized by self-proclaimed prophet Jeffrey Lundgren. He then served as a U.S. Representative for Ohio’s 19th (and then 14th) congressional district from 1995 to 2013. He was on several subcommittees under the Committee on Appropriations and used his committee seats to: channel highway dollars to Northeast Ohio and protect the interests of credit unions, help establish an arbitration process that saved hundreds of auto dealers that were scheduled to close after the federal government bailed out several large auto companies, and fight PNC Bank’s takeover of National City Corporation during the bank bailout in 2008. He was called a ‘skilled parliamentarian’ who was often sent to arbitrate contentious debates. Inducted 2017.
