About Me
- Ernest Istook
- From 1993 until 2007, Ernest Istook represented Oklahoma's 5th District in the U.S. House of Representatives, and served on the Appropriations Committee. He was a Founder of the Republican Study Committee, the largest group of conservatives in the U.S. House. Ernest saw the "Republican Revolution" through its rise and its fall. (And he admits his own "mea culpa's" for the mistakes.) Now he is a Fellow at The Heritage Foundation, working to further conservative causes and thought. As a father of five grown children and eight grandchildren, he's concerned about their future in America. Ernest's wife, Judy, is a registered nurse and they've been married since 1973. He's gung-ho on the Boy Scouts of America, having served years as a Scoutmaster. His two sons are both Eagle Scouts.
