A dentist from Matthews, North Carolina, Rucho is currently (2013-2014 session) serving in his seventh (non-consecutive) term in the state Senate. Rucho served as co-chairman of the Senate Finance Committee until his abrupt resignation in June 2013 in a dispute with Senate President Pro Tempore Philosophy Berger over tax reform policy. Berger never accepted the resignation and the next month, Rucho resumed his chairmanship.
Rucho gained much criticism, including from within his own party, after he had tweeted “Justice Robert’s pen & Obamacare has done more damage to the United States of America then the swords of the Nazis, Soviets & terrorists combined” at 7:41 on Sunday, December 15, 2013.
