Jack Buechner

Jack Buechner

John W. "Jack" Buechner (born June 4, 1940) is a politician from the U.S. state of Missouri. He is a Republican. Buechner was raised in Kirkwood, Missouri and attended parochial schools. He graduated from Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas and graduated with an BA in political science. He received his JD from Saint Louis University School of Law. He was elected to the Missouri House of Representatives in 1972 and was re-elected five times. In 1984 he ran for the US House of Representatives, challenging incumbent Democrat Robert A. Young. Buechner received 47.5% of the vote, losing narrowly to Young.

In 1986, Buechner again challenged Young, and this time he was elected, winning 52.7% of the vote. Buechner was re-elected in 1988, but in 1990 he was defeated by Democrat Joan Kelly Horn. Horn would be defeated after one term by Jim Talent, later a U.S. Senator from Missouri. Mr. Buechner is known for his sardonic and self-deprecating sense of humor: in a live television interview after his 1984 loss, when asked his plans, Buechner joked that he was going to open a law firm in partnership with a prominent Democrat who had lost a statewide race that evening. He also was the only Congressman asked who was willing to give David Letterman a tour of the United States Capitol for a video piece shown on "Late Night with David Letterman".
