Charles Rockwell Saxbe (born November 2, 1946) is an attorney in Ohio and former American politician of the Republican Party. He is the son of former U.S. Attorney General and Senator William B. Saxbe.[1]

Early life and education

Saxbe was born to William and Ardath Louise "Dolly" Kleinhans Saxbe in Urbana, Ohio.[2] He was the youngest of three children and grew up in a small house in nearby Mechanicsburg, Ohio, that his father built.

In 1969, Saxbe earned his bachelor's degree from the Southern Methodist University and then enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps, where he served as an infantry platoon commander with the First Marine Division during the Vietnam War.[3] He attained the rank of Captain by the time he was honorably discharged.

After serving his country, Saxbe earned his law degree from the Ohio State University Moritz College of Law in 1975.

Political career

Saxbe served four terms in the Ohio House of Representatives.

In 1982, he was the Republican nominee for Ohio Attorney General, losing to Anthony J. Celebrezze Jr. by nearly 2 to 1 (2,036,243 to 1,203,797).[4]
