Former U.S. Representative for Arizona's 3rd
congressional district. A member of the Republican Party, he is
the son of the 44th vice president of the United States, Dan
Quayle. Quayle was a member of the Tea Party movement, which had
many of its members swept into office during the 2010 elections.
Quayle's prior involvement with the controversial rumor and
gossip website "DirtyScottsdale.com" complicated his run for
office. According to the site's founder, Quayle was one of the
"original contributors" to the site, which covered Scottsdale
nightlife with features including sexy photos of women, and was
the predecessor to the gossip website TheDirty.com. Quayle
initially denied the rumors, before admitting several weeks
later that he did, in fact, write material for the site under
the pen name Brock Landers. |
