He was re-elected in 1991 after garnering 80% of the vote and was unopposed for re-election in 1995, 1999, 2003, and 2007.
He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology at Loyola University of the South in 1967; a Juris Doctor degree at Loyola University College of Law, where he was a member of the Loyola Law Review, in 1970; and a Master of Laws degree at Tulane University in 1981. Throughout his law school, professional, and public service years (1967 to present), Mr. Gegenheimer has authored myriad trial and appellate briefs and journal articles in the areas of commercial, criminal, maritime, and elections law. Since high school, he has been an avid reader of history, philosophy, Western literature, and politics.
Mr. Gegenheimer’s personal library is home to many of what are called the “Great Books,” the splendid works of the West’s immortal thinkers and writers: Homer, Plato, Aristotle, Virgil, the inspired authors of the Old and New Testaments, Aquinas, Machiavelli, Milton, Descartes, Hobbes, Locke, Dante, Hume, Kant, Shakespeare, Darwin, Dickens, Mill, Nietzsche, Voltaire, Paine, Freud, Newton, Einstein, Conrad, Faulkner, (C.S.) Lewis, Woolf, Churchill, (Ayn) Rand, Buckley, and so on. Mr. Gegenheimer attributes those writing skills that he has accumulated over the last four decades and the ideas that he later advanced in The Second Hill to his reading and studying (a) the great writers aforementioned; (b) eloquent political essayists like George Will, David Brooks, Charles Krauthammer, and William Safire; and (c) the brilliant economists Hayek, Keynes, and Friedman.vizualizați mai puține
