William Thomas "Bill" Sali (born February 17, 1954) is a former congressman from Idaho. A Republican, he served a single term in the United States House of Representatives, representing Idaho's 1st congressional district, from 2007 to 2009. Sali previously served in the Idaho Legislature as a member of the House.
Sali was elected to an open seat in Congress in 2006, but was defeated for reelection in 2008 by Democrat Walt Minnick. Sali was the first Idaho congressman to fail to win a second term in 56 years, since Republican John Travers Wood was defeated in 1952. Minnick also served only one term, defeated by Raúl Labrador in 2010.
Born in Portsmouth, Ohio, Sali moved to Idaho with his family in 1962 at age ten. He graduated from Capital High School in Boise in 1972 and enrolled at Boise State College, attending for two years. Sali worked full-time for over four years, then returned to the renamed Boise State University in 1979, and earned a bachelor's degree in economics in 1981 at age 29. He was admitted to the University of Idaho law school in Moscow, where he received a J.D. degree in 1984.
