Jim Inhofe
The Public Record
James Mountain Inhofe is a former United States Senator from Oklahoma, serving from 1994 to 2021. A member of the Republican Party, Inhofe is known for his strong conservative views, particularly on issues related to national defense and environmental policy. He gained notoriety for his skepticism regarding climate change, famously calling it a hoax. Throughout his tenure, he held significant positions, including Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.
