Benjamin Eugene "Ben" Quayle (born November 5, 1976) is an American lawyer and politician who is a former U.S. Representative for Arizona's 3rd congressional district. A member of the Republican Party, he is the son of former Vice President of the United States Dan Quayle. He is a member of the Tea Party movement, which had many of its members swept into office during the 2010 elections.
Prior to serving in Congress he worked as an associate lawyer and eventually founded his own security company as well as writing for the Scottsdale gossip blog, The Dirty. In the 2010 Republican primary he defeated 10 other candidates and went on to win a majority in the general election. In his first bid for re-election, due to redistricting, he faced off against fellow Republican Congressman David Schweikert in a primary and lost. He currently works for the lobbying firm Clark Hill.
Quayle was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana on November 5, 1976, three days after his father was first elected to the United States House of Representatives. As a child, Quayle frequently visited the White House with his family during the Reagan administration.
Quayle moved to the Phoenix, Arizona area with his family in 1996. Quayle graduated from Duke University in 1998 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history and earned his Juris Doctor from Vanderbilt University Law School in 2002. Quayle has been admitted to the Arizona, New York, and California bar.
