Mike Bost Biography
Mike Bost is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on December 30, 1960 in Murphysboro, United States. American politician Michael Joseph Bost (/’ bo: s.t/; born December 30, 1960), is known as Michael Joseph Bost. He is a Republican Party member and has been the U.S. representative for Illinois’s 12th congressional District since 2015. Bost represented the 115th congressional district from 1995 to 2015. Bost worked as a firefighter before he was elected to office.
Bost was elected first to the Illinois House of Representatives on November 1994 after having lost his 1992 campaign. The Chicago Tribune endorsed him in his 1994 campaign against Gerald Hawkins.
In May 2012, members of the Illinois House were given just 20 minutes to review and vote on a 200-page pension overhaul bill that had been revised at the last minute. Displeased with the situation, Bost exploded on the House floor, saying “These damn bills that come out of here all the damn time…at the last second and I’ve got to try figure out how to vote for my people!…[e]nough! I feel like somebody trying to be released from Egypt! Let my people go!” An opponent ran ads focusing on Bost’s anger, but many voters, according to NPR, “see his fury as well-placed.” Bost’s rant earned him the runner-up spot on CNN’s list of “Best Celebrity Flip-Outs of All-Time”. Bost joked about his inclusion on the list, saying “I thought I was going to be No. 1.” He later said he had been “angry at how legislators pushed a bill through and how Governor Pat Quinn was running Illinois.”
In November 2013, Bost presented fellow U.S. Marine Archibald Mosley with Illinois House Resolution 706 for his lifetime accomplishments, including being among the first African-Americans to serve in the U.S. Marines. The presentation was part of a NAACP program.
Bost managed his Murphysboro-based trucking company for ten years. Tracy Bost and her husband have been the owners and operators of White House Beauty Salon Murphysboro since 1989.

Illinois’s largely agricultural 12th district was historically Democratic-leaning, but had been trending Republican, with President Obama having carried it by only 2 percentage points in his 2012 bid. Enyart was considered vulnerable due to being a freshman member in a competitive seat. Additionally, Democratic Governor Pat Quinn, who was running for reelection in 2014, was unpopular in the district. The Cook Political Report rated the race a “Toss Up” and the National Journal ranked the district the 21st most likely to flip Republican in 2014.

In November 2014, Bost described President Obama, his former colleague in the Illinois legislature, as a “fluke” and said that “nobody ever thought he was going to rise.” He recalled a time when Obama, speaking to a group of reporters as Bost walked by, had said to them: “There you have it, one of the rich Republicans.” Bost purportedly responded, “that just proves you don’t know me at all.” He said that was his last exchange with Obama.
In December 2017, Bost signed a letter requesting that two education-related portions of the Internal Revenue code, one providing tuition breaks and the other incentivizing employees “to accept tax-free educational assistance from employers,” be left unchanged in the new tax bill.
