Robert Anthony Rucho (born December 8, 1948) is a Republican member of the North Carolina General Assembly representing the state's thirty-ninth Senate district, including constituents in Mecklenburg County.[1] 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 Phil Berger over tax reform policy.[2] Berger never accepted the resignation and the next month, Rucho resumed his chairmanship.[3]

Views on the Affordable Care Act

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 USA then [sic] the swords of the Nazis, Soviets & terrorists combined” at 7:41 on Sunday, December 15, 2013 [4]
