Campbell became a law professor at Stanford University in 1983, becoming the youngest professor ever awarded tenure at Stanford. He took a leave of absence in 1988 to run for the Republican nomination in California's 12th Congressional District, which included his home in Campbell, just outside San Jose. He won and served two terms before making an unsuccessful bid for the Republican nomination for the Senate seat being vacated by Alan Cranston. He won a special election for the California State Senate in 1993 and served there until 1995. That year, 15th District Congressman Norman Mineta unexpectedly resigned. Campbell's home had been redrawn into this San Jose-based district, and he ran in the special election. Mineta had held the seat since 1975, and it was widely considered a safe Democratic district. However, the Democrats rested on their laurels, and Campbell managed to win by a large margin. He won the seat in his own right almost as easily in 1996 and was handily reelected in 1998. Throughout his elective career, Campbell represented districts that were predominantly Democratic. He was one of the most socially liberal Republicans in Congress. He was pro-choice on abortion and was strongly supportive of gun control and gay rights. He was also a vehement opponent of the war on drugs.

In 2000, Campbell won the Republican nomination to take on Senator Dianne Feinstein. However, he faced almost impossible odds in a state which had swung heavily to the Democrats in the previous decade. It didn't help that he had voted for two of the four articles of impeachment against Bill Clinton shortly after being reelected to his second full Congressional term. During the impeachment debate, Campbell suggested that Clinton's misleading statements about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky had incapacitated him from serving as president. Campbell was heavily defeated, losing by over 19 points. He then returned to Stanford, serving there until his appointment at rival Cal-Berkeley in 2002. This article is about the year 2000. ...
