Interview with Saxby Chambliss, November 28, 2017

Saxby Chambliss moved around the southeast growing up, due to his father being an Episcopal priest. He attended the University of Georgia in the mid-1960s, obtained his J.D. from the University of Tennessee, and moved back to south Georgia after finishing law school. A Democrat, he was recruited by the Georgia Republican Party to run as a Republican for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1992 and 1994 races, the second of which he won. He served in the U.S. Congress from 1995-2003, and then was elected for two terms as U.S. Senator from 2003-2015. Chambliss was a member of the Gang of Six, a bipartisan group of six Senators consisting of three Democrats and three Republicans.
