Bill Brock Autographs
William Emerson Brock III (November 23, 1930 – March 25, 2021) was an American politician from Tennessee who served in both chambers of the United States Congress as a member of the United States House of Representatives for four terms representing Tennessee's 3rd congressional district from 1963 to 1971 and as a member of the United States Senate for one term from 1971 to 1977. He later served as the 50th Chair of the Republican National Committee from 1977 to 1981 and in the Cabinet of the United States from 1981 to 1987 under President of the United States Ronald Reagan as the 8th United States Trade Representative from 1981 to 1985 and as the 18th United States Secretary of Labor from 1985 to 1987. He was the grandson of William E. Brock, a member of the Democratic Party who served as a member of the U.S. Senate from the state of Tennessee from 1929 to 1931. Though the elder William Brock was a Democrat, the younger was a member of the Republican Party.
Brock was born on November 23, 1930, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where his family owned a well-known candy company. He was the son of William Emerson Brock Jr. and Myra (Kruesi). Brock is named after his grandfather, William E. Brock, who also served in the United States Senate. His maternal great-grandfather was John Kruesi, a machinist and close Thomas Edison associate who was originally from Appenzell, a historic canton in Switzerland.
Brock was a 1949 graduate of The McCallie School and a 1953 graduate of Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, in 1953 and subsequently served in the United States Navy until 1956. He then worked in his family's candy business. Brock had been reared as a Democrat, but became a Republican in the 1950s. In 1962, he was elected to Congress from Tennessee's 3rd congressional district, based in Chattanooga. The 3rd had long been the only Democratic outpost in traditionally heavily Republican East Tennessee; indeed, Brock's victory ended 40 years of Democratic control in the district.
