He was born in [[New York City]]. In 2012, he was the Republican nominee for one of the most-watched races for the [[U.S. Senate]] in 2012, which he lost against the incumbent [[Democratic Party|Democrat]] [[senator]] [[Claire McCaskill]] when a [[libertarian]] candidate siphoned off support. Akin was first elected to Congress in 2000. Prior to that he served twelve years in two different districts in the Missouri General Assembly. He was replaced in the second district House seat by fellow Republican Ann L. Wagner.
