About the Author
John Ashcroft was elected to the United States Senate in 1994, after serving as governor of Missouri for two terms. As governor, Ashcroft balanced eight consecutive budgets during his terms, and Fortune magazine rated him one of the top ten education governors. In the Senate, Ashcroft has taken a leading role on key issues such as welfare reform, juvenile crime, and reform of the civil justice system, and has authored significant changes to federal law. He serves on three Senate committees: Judiciary; Commerce, Science, and Transportation; and Foreign Relations, and is also the chairman of subcommittees on the Constitution, Consumer Affairs, and Africa, respectively. Ashcroft also is widely recognized for his innovative use of technology and the Internet, and has taught students in Missouri and across the country about using the Internet and on-line information as a tool of citizenship. Prior to entering public service, Ashcroft taught business law at Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield. He graduated with honors from Yale University in 1964, met his wife, Janet, at the University of Chicago Law School where they each received law degrees in 1967, and later co-authored two college textbooks together. Both have been admitted to practice law in the Federal Court for the Western District of Missouri.
