, and for the U.S. Senate in 1996, losing the Republican primary.
Broun was one of the top two vote-getters in a June 2007 special congressional election
to fill the seat vacated by the late Charlie Norwood
. The first place finisher, State Senator Jim Whitehead, more than doubled Broun's vote total, and Broun had only 198 votes more than the third-place finisher.
In the runoff campaign, Whitehead angered some voters by failing to appear at a debate held in Athens and then by referring to his alma mater
, the University of Georgia, as a "liberal bastion" that should be eliminated, save for the football team. In the runoff election held on July 17, 2007, Broun upset Whitehead by 0.8 percent, fewer than 400 votes. After the votes were certified, Whitehead declined to ask for a recount despite the narrow margin. On July 25, 2007, Broun was sworn in by House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi
.
In 2010, Dr. Christopher Cates, an Atlanta cardiologist, filed his intent to challenge Broun in the Republican primary in the 10th district.
On election day, Broun was returned to office with about 67% of the vote.
, who represented much of Middle Georgia about a decade ago, is reportedly considering another run for Congress. Collins has stated that he is likely to challenge U.S. Rep. Paul Broun
, a fellow Republican in the redrawn 10th Congressional District, according to a report in the Athens Banner-Herald. The two have faced each other before: Collins defeated Broun with about 55 percent of the vote in a 1992 primary.
; his fundamentalist religious views inform his politics. In May 2009, Broun proposed failed legislation that would have proclaimed 2010 "The Year Of The Bible". He also introduced a bill to ban the sale or rental of sexually explicit materials on U.S military installations.
Broun is also a climate change skeptic. He called the entire concept of man-made global warming a conspiracy perpetuated by certain members of the scientific community when he explained his reasons for voting against climate change legislation in June 2010.
Broun in September 2008 voted against the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008
which created the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or "TARP".
, Broun drew national attention when he criticized President-elect Barack Obama
's call for a civilian national service corps, suggesting that Obama might use it to establish a Marxist
dictatorship.
In an interview with the Associated Press
, Broun said, "That's exactly what Hitler
did in Nazi Germany
and it's exactly what the Soviet Union
did. When he's proposing to have a national security force that's answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he's showing me signs of being Marxist." Broun later clarified his statement by saying, "We can't be lulled into complacency. You have to remember that Adolf Hitler was elected in a democratic Germany. I'm not comparing him to Adolf Hitler. What I'm saying is there is the potential of going down that road."
Broun cited a July 2008 speech by Obama in which the then-Democratic presidential candidate had said, "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." A spokesman for Obama indicated that he had been referring to a civilian reserve corps intended to handle postwar reconstruction efforts in foreign locations, such as rebuilding infrastructure. The Bush administration had endorsed that idea, and a Civilian Response Corps
, described as similar to the one proposed by Obama, was formed in 2006 by the Bush Administration after a bipartisan Congressional vote.
radio, "I regret putting it that way," and "I apologize to anyone who has taken offense at that." Broun nevertheless asserted that Obama "is extremely liberal" and "has promoted a lot of socialistic ideas, and it just makes me concerned."
His remarks in the radio interview were at first interpreted in the press as an apology. However, Broun's office later said he was "not taking back anything he said" and a spokeswoman said, "We have not issued any official apology” for the remarks. The spokeswoman said Broun stood by a written statement he had issued in which he criticized Obama for having "socialist views" and raised what the Atlanta Journal Constitution described as "ominous concerns" about the civilian force. The news release read in part, "I firmly believe that we must not fall victim to the 'it can't happen here' mentality. I adhere to the adage 'eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.'" Broun also said that his comments had been sensationalized by the media.
Johnny Isakson
and Saxby Chambliss
both expressed disagreement with his comments, while state Democratic Party
spokesman Martin Matheny accused Broun of "playing to the extremes" at a time “when Americans are coming together to celebrate history and renew America's promise." and that "Broun's neo-McCarthyism
has no place in today's political environment."
) over allegations of trying to plant "spies," based on a CAIR memo indicating that they "will develop national initiatives such as Lobby Day, and placing Muslim interns in Congressional offices." Broun further implied CAIR had involvement with terrorism, stating, "If an organization that is connected to or supports terrorists is running influence operations or planting spies in key national security-related congressional offices, I think this needs to be made known." The request came in the wake of the publication of a book, Muslim Mafia, the foreword of which had been penned by Congresswoman Sue Myrick, that portrayed CAIR as a subversive organization allied with international terrorists.
CAIR has countered that accusations against them are "unfounded" and that such initiatives are extensively used by all advocacy groups. A CAIR representative has accused Broun and his colleagues of being "hate-filled" and of seeking to intimidate American Muslims who "take part in the political process and exercise their rights."
played a clip of Broun at a public meeting where he cited a recent report by the Centers for Disease Control that claimed Americans were not eating enough fruits and vegetables. He stated "Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta said people in America are not eating enough fruits and vegetables. They want all the power of the federal government to force you to eat more fruits and vegetables. This is what the federal CDC – They (sic) going to be calling people and finding out how many fruits and vegetables you eat (sic) today. This is socialism of the highest order!"
, Broun said "I don't know" when asked if President Obama was a US citizen or a Christian
. He also said that he did know Obama was a socialist, and said
“America has to stand up and decide if we want to be a socialist nation or if we’re going to be a free nation." During President Obama's 2011 State of the Union address
, Broun tweeted that "Mr. President, you don't believe in the Constitution. You believe in socialism."

Broun, who later that week condemned the question, contested the quoted response originally reported by the Athens Banner-Herald. According to his press secretary
