About Bob Riley
Robert Renfroe Riley is an American retired politician and businessman who served as the 52nd governor of Alabama from 2003 to 2011. A member of the Republican Party, he was the U.S. representative for Alabama's 3rd congressional district from 1997 to 2003. Riley was first elected to the U.S. In the first year of his administration, Riley proposed "Amendment One", which would have made swift changes to the state's tax system. He won by just over 6,000 votes to become only the second Republican to represent Alabama's 3rd district since Reconstruction. The first was Glenn Andrews, who held it from 1965 to 1967, when it was numbered as the 4th District.
