David M. McIntosh (born June 8, 1958) was a Republican representative from Indiana during the period of January 3, 1995 to January 3, 2001. He was born in Oakland, California and later moved to Kendallville, Indiana. In 2000 McIntosh ran for governor of Indiana, but lost to incumbent Democrat Frank O'Bannon. His campaign was built around a 25% guaranteed property tax cut.
McIntosh planned another run for governor in 2004, but dropped out before the Indiana Republican primary after President Bush gave his support to Mitch Daniels, former Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget.
McIntosh received a B.A. from Yale University, cum laude, in 1980 and a J.D. from University of Chicago Law School in 1983. He was taught at the latter by Antonin Scalia, who later became a Supreme Court Justice.
During the Reagan Administration, McIntosh served as Special Assistant to the Attorney General and as Special Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs.
In George H. W. Bush's administration, he served as executive director of Vice President Dan Quayle's Council for Competitiveness.[1]
McIntosh is also a co-founder of The Federalist Society.
