Charles Elson "Buddy" Roemer III (born October 4, 1943) is an American politician and banker who served as the 52nd Governor of Louisiana from 1988 to 1992, and as a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1981 to 1988. Roemer was a candidate for the presidential nominations of the Republican Party and the Reform Party〔Burns, Alexander (May 31, 2012) ("Buddy Roemer quits 2012 race" ), ''Politico''. Retrieved May 31, 2012〕 in 2012. He withdrew from those contests and sought the 2012 Americans Elect presidential nomination until that group announced it would not field a candidate in 2012 because no candidate reached the required minimum threshold of support to be listed on its ballot. Buddy Roemer endorsed Gary Johnson, a governor of New Mexico, for U.S. President in 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Former GOP Presidential Candidate Buddy Roemer Calls For Gary Johnson to Be Included in Romney and Obama's Presidential Debates )〕 In March 1991, while serving as governor, Roemer switched affiliation from the Democratic to the Republican Party.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ROEMER, Charles Elson (Buddy), III )〕 == Early life, education, and early career == Buddy Roemer was born on October 4, 1943, in Shreveport to Charles Elson "Budgie" Roemer, II (December 11, 1923 - July 2012)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Charles E. "Budgie" Roemer obituary )〕〔http://www.hamiltonmixon.com/Ballad.pdf〕 and the former Adeline McDade.〔 Roemer's maternal grandfather, Ross McDade, married a sister of the maternal grandmother of James C. Gardner, a former mayor of Shreveport. Gardner knew Roemer's grandfather as "Uncle Ross". McDade's wife died, and he remarried, from which union came Adeline Roemer. Roemer and Gardner were not close politically. Roemer was reared on the family's Scopena plantation near Bossier City. He attended public schools and graduated in 1960 as valedictorian of Bossier High School. In 1964, he graduated from Harvard College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics. In 1967, he received an MBA in finance from Harvard Business School. After college, Roemer returned to Louisiana to work in his father’s computer business and later founded two banks. He was elected in 1972 as a delegate to the Louisiana Constitutional Convention held in 1973. Among the Shreveport-area delegates who served with Roemer was his future gubernatorial advisor Robert G. Pugh, future U.S. District Judge Tom Stagg, and former Louisiana State Representative Frank Fulco. Roemer's father had been in 1971 the campaign manager for Edwin Washington Edwards and became commissioner of administration during Edwards' first term as governor. Buddy Roemer worked on the Edwards campaign as a regional leader and later started a political consulting firm. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Buddy Roemer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
