James Vincent Stanton (February 27, 1932 – May 2, 2022) was an American lawyer and politician who served three terms as a U.S. Representative from Ohio from 1971 to 1977.
Early life and career
Born in
Cleveland-Marshall College of Law in 1961. He became a member of the Ohio bar association
that year, and went into private practice.
Political career
Stanton served as a member of the
William "Fishbait" Miller defeated by the House Caucus and installed his friend and protégé James Molloy
in Miller's place. Molloy kept the office until it was abolished in 1995.
Stanton was not a candidate for reelection to the House of Representatives in 1976, but was an unsuccessful candidate for nomination to the United States Senate. He supported the man who bested him in the primary, Howard Metzenbaum. Though he had been instrumental in that body for a few years, he tired of the slow progress members encountered in gaining stature the House.[citation needed]
Later career
After his political career, Stanton resumed the practice of law in
Harvard University Business School in 1984. He was a resident of Potomac, Maryland, and died on May 2, 2022, at age 90.[1]
