Benjamin Eugene Quayle (born November 5, 1976)[1] is an American lawyer and politician who is a 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.
Before serving in Congress, Quayle worked as an associate lawyer and founded a security company. In the 2010 Republican primary he defeated 10 other candidates before winning the general election. In his first bid for reelection, two years later and after redistricting, he faced a Republican challenge from fellow Representative David Schweikert and narrowly lost the seat in the primary.
After leaving Congress, Quayle joined the lobbying firm Clark Hill in Washington D.C.[2] He now works for advocacy firm Hobart Hallaway Quayle.[3]
