He represented West Virginia’s 3rd Congressional District. Rahall’s reputation to work across party aisles was well known and earned deep respect from his colleagues in Congress from across the political spectrum. Prior to his career in the U.S. House of Representatives, Rahall owned and operated a travel agency, partnered with his late father on a variety of business interests, and served as a top aid to the late U.S. Senator Robert Byrd.
