Robert D. "Bob" McEwen (born January 12, 1950) was a conservative Republican U.S. representative from southern Ohio's 6th District from January 3, 1981, to January 3, 1993. Tom Deimer of Cleveland's Plain Dealer wrote he was a "textbook Republican" who was "opposed to abortion, gun control, high taxes, and costly government programs." In the House, he openly criticized government incompetence and charged corruption by the Democratic majority. In June 2005, he unsuccessfully ran for Congress from the Second District of Ohio in the special election to replace Rob Portman, finishing second behind Jean Schmidt. McEwen's 2005 platform was familiar from his past campaigns, advocating a pro-life stance, defending Second Amendment rights, and promising to limit taxes and government spending. His surname is pronounced mick-YOU-enn.
