From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Patrick Swindall
Born October 18, 1950 (1950-10-18)
Gadsden, Alabama, U.S.

Patrick Lynn Swindall Sr. (b. October 18, 1950) is an American politician.

Swindall was born in Gadsden, Alabama. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) from the University of Georgia (UGA) in 1972 and also obtained his J.D. from the UGA School of Law in 1975.

He was a practicing lawyer in Atlanta, Georgia from 1975 until 1984 when he ran as a Republican for the United States House of Representatives in Georgia's 4th congressional district. After winning election to the 99th Congress, Swindall was re-elected to the 100th Congress. He lost his bid for re-election to the 101st Congress in 1988.

In 1988 a federal grand jury indicted Swindall for perjury. The cloud of controversy surrounding the indictments, further enhanced by videotapes publicly circulated via the local news channels doomed his previously safe re-election bid in 1988. His Democratic opponent, Ben Jones, achieved a stunning victory despite heavy Republican sentiment in the district. Swindall was later convicted of nine counts of perjury in 1992 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. On appeal the Eleventh Circuit reversed three of the nine counts of perjury. Swindall served one year.

Pat Swindall has 7 children Kelley, Patrick, Meghan, Mackenzie, Caitlin, Ryan, and Molly Swindall with wife Kim.
