James Matthes Talent (born October 18, 1956) is an American politician who was a U.S. Senator from Missouri from 2002 to 2007. He is a Republican and resided in the St. Louis area while serving in elected office.
After serving for eight years in the U.S. House of Representatives and then working as a lobbyist, he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2002, defeating Democrat Jean Carnahan in a special election to complete the term to which Carnahan's husband, Mel, had been elected posthumously in 2000.[1] In the Democratic wave of November 2006, Talent lost his re-election bid to Claire McCaskill, 50% to 47%.
Talent, a senior adviser to Mitt Romney's 2008 presidential campaign,[2] served as a member of Romney's 2012 economic policy team during the 2012 U.S. presidential campaign.[3] Talent is a distinguished fellow at The Heritage Foundation[4] and a member of the Defense Policy Board.[5] He is also a co-chairman at Mercury, a Washington D.C. lobbying firm.[6] Following Donald Trump's victory in the 2016 presidential election, Talent was rumored to be on the short list for United States Secretary of Defense,[7] a position ultimately offered to James Mattis.
