Kolbe, Jim, 1942-

James Thomas Kolbe (born June 28, 1942) is an American business executive and politician. As a member of the Republican Party, he notably served as the U.S. Representative for Arizona's 5th (1985-2003) and 8th (2003-2007) congressional districts.

Born in Evanston, Illinois and raised in rural Santa Cruz County, Arizona, he graduated from the United States Capitol Page School in 1960 after serving for three years as a United States Senate Page for Barry Goldwater. Kolbe went on to earn a B.A. degree from Northwestern University and an M.B.A. degree from Stanford University before serving in the United States Navy, including a year in Vietnam in the riverine, "Swift Boat," force. He was a special assistant to Illinois Republican Governor Richard B. Ogilvie. He then moved to Tucson, Arizona, where he was a business executive. In 1976, Kolbe ran for the Arizona Senate in a Tucson-area district and defeated a one-term Democrat who had been elected in the national Democratic wave of 1974. He served three terms in that body, and was majority whip from 1979 to 1982.
