Bio: In May 2007, Bob Edgar was named president and CEO of Common Cause, a national nonpartisan, non-profit "citizens" lobby working to make government at all levels more honest, open and accountable, and to connect citizens with their democracy. Bob arrived at Common Cause with a long history of leadership and public service that included 12 years in Congress. Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1974 to represent the Seventh Congressional District of Pennsylvania, outside of Philadelphia, Bob was part of the congressional class nicknamed "the Watergate babies," those elected in the wake of the Watergate scandal and who led sweeping reforms of Congress. Bob received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Lycoming College, Williamsport, Pa., and a master of divinity degree from the Theological School of Drew University, Madison, N.J. He has also been president of the Claremont School of Theology. He holds five honorary doctoral degrees. Bob serves on the board of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, Drew University, Families USA, the National Coalition on Health Care, the Environmental and Energy Study Institute, the National Alternative Medicine Foundation, the Project for Nuclear Awareness, the Center for International Policy and the Churches’ Center for Theology and Public Policy. Bob is the author of "Middle Church," a call to progressive people of faith to take back the moral high ground from the extremists and make America a better and less divided country.
