Chris Jacobs: podcast appearances and interviews

Christopher Louis Jacobs, born on November 28, 1966, is an American politician who served as a member of the United States House of Representatives representing New York's 27th congressional district from 2020 to 2023. Prior to his congressional service, Jacobs held the position of the 62nd secretary of state of New York from April 2006 to January 2007. He also served as Erie County clerk beginning in 2012 and was a Republican member of the New York State Senate for the 60th district from 2017 to 2020. Jacobs was elected to Congress in a special election on June 23, 2020, to fill a vacancy in the 27th district and was subsequently reelected to a full term in November 2020. During his tenure, he faced political backlash from some members of his party following his support for certain gun control measures after the Buffalo shooting and the Robb Elementary School shooting, which contributed to his decision not to seek reelection in 2022.
