'''Gary Eugene "Gene" Taylor''' (born September 17, 1953 in [[New Orleans]], [[Louisiana]]) currently serves as the [[Democrat]]ic U.S. from [[Mississippi]]'s 4th congressional district, having been first elected in a 1989 special election. He is a senior member of the Armed Services Committee and Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

He is culturally conservative, consistently voting against [[abortion]] rights and [[gun control]]. Taylor loudly opposes outsourcing, voted against the 1991 [[Persian Gulf War]], however voted for the 2002 invasion of [[Iraq]].
Taylor voted against the $700 billion bailout for Wall Street; "if there was a button that said 'hell no', I'd push it." <ref>The Almanac of American Politics, 2010</ref> He voted against [[President Obama]]'s $787 billion economic stimulus package, and was the first Democrat to sign a petition to repeal his party's [[health care]] overhaul legislation. <ref>http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0910/42237.html#ixzz10DQus4Cm</ref>
