**Robert Takeo Matsui** (September 17, 1941 – January 1, 2005)[5] was an American politician from the state of [California](/source/California). Matsui was a member of the [Democratic Party](/source/Democratic_Party_(United_States)) and served in the [U.S. House of Representatives](/source/United_States_House_of_Representatives) as the [congressman](/source/United_States_Congress) for [California's 5th congressional district](/source/California's_5th_congressional_district) from 1979 until his death at the end of his 13th term.[5][6]

The [Robert T. Matsui United States Courthouse](/source/Robert_T._Matsui_United_States_Courthouse) in [Sacramento](/source/Sacramento%2C_California) is named in his honor.[7]

## Early life and education

A [third-generation](/source/Sansei) [Japanese American](/source/Japanese_American), Matsui was born in [Sacramento, California](/source/Sacramento%2C_California),[5] and was six months old when he and his family were taken from Sacramento and [interned](/source/Japanese_American_Internment) by the U.S. government at the [Tule Lake War Relocation Center](/source/Tule_Lake_National_Monument) in 1942.[8]

Matsui graduated from the [University of California, Berkeley](/source/University_of_California%2C_Berkeley), in 1963 with a [B.A.](/source/Bachelor_of_Arts) in political science, and then from the [Hastings College of Law](/source/Hastings_College_of_Law) in 1966.[5] He founded his own Sacramento law practice in 1967.[8]

## Political career

Congressman Bob Matsui with [Geraldine Ferraro](/source/Geraldine_Ferraro) and [Tom Hsieh](/source/Tom_Hsieh) at the [1984 Democratic National Convention](/source/1984_Democratic_National_Convention) in [San Francisco](/source/San_Francisco)

[Elijah Cummings](/source/Elijah_Cummings), [Xavier Becerra](/source/Xavier_Becerra), and Robert Matsui at a press conference on civil rights in 1997

In 1971, Matsui was elected to the [Sacramento City Council](/source/Sacramento_City_Council).[8] He won re-election in 1975 and became vice mayor of the city in 1977.[8]

In 1978, Matsui ran for the Democratic nomination in what was then the 3rd district after 12-term incumbent [John E. Moss](/source/John_E._Moss) announced his retirement. He won a five-way Democratic primary with 36 percent of the vote, besting a field that included [State Assemblyman](/source/California_State_Assembly) Eugene Gualco and [Sacramento Mayor](/source/List_of_mayors_of_Sacramento%2C_California) [Phil Isenberg](/source/Phillip_Isenberg).[9]

He defeated [Republican](/source/Republican_Party_(United_States)) Sandy Smoley with 53 percent of the vote.[10] He would never face another contest nearly that close in what has long been the most Democratic district in interior California, and would be reelected 13 times. After his initial contest, he never dropped below 68 percent of the vote. He was reelected in 1982 with no major-party opposition, and was unopposed in 1984.[11] His district was renumbered as the 5th district after the 1990 census.

In 1988, Matsui succeeded in helping pass the [Civil Liberties Act of 1988](/source/Civil_Liberties_Act_of_1988), which produced an official apology from the Federal government for the [World War II](/source/World_War_II) [internment program](/source/Japanese_American_Internment) and offered token compensation to victims. He was also instrumental in the designation of [Manzanar internment camp](/source/Manzanar_internment_camp) as a national historic site and in obtaining land in Washington, D.C. for the memorial to Japanese-American patriotism in World War II.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

He was a chairman of the [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee](/source/Democratic_Congressional_Campaign_Committee), [ranking member](/source/Ranking_member) of the [United States House Committee on Ways and Means](/source/United_States_House_Committee_on_Ways_and_Means), and third-ranking Democrat on the [Ways and Means Committee](/source/U.S._House_Committee_on_Ways_and_Means). During his term he was noted for his staunch opposition to privatization of [Social Security](/source/Social_Security_(United_States)). He had a mostly liberal voting record having opposed the Defense of Marriage Act, the ban on partial-birth abortions, and the Private Securities and Litigations Reform Act.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

In what would be his last election, [2004](/source/2004_U.S._House_election), he faced Republican Mike Dugas and easily won a 14th term with 71.4% of the vote, compared to Dugas' 23.4%. Opponents Pat Driscoll ([Green Party](/source/Green_Party_(United_States))) and John Reiger ([Peace and Freedom Party](/source/Peace_and_Freedom_Party_(United_States))), won 3.4% and 1.8% of the vote, respectively.[12] (DCCC chairs are chosen in part because they are not expected to face serious competition for re-election.)

## Personal life

He was married to [Doris Okada](/source/Doris_Matsui) who, until December 1998, worked as deputy assistant to the President and Deputy Director of Public Liaison for President [Bill Clinton](/source/Bill_Clinton), leaving to become senior advisor and director of government relations at the firm of Collier Shannon Scott, PLLC before winning election to her late husband's seat. The Matsuis had one son, Brian, who received his undergraduate and [Juris Doctor](/source/Juris_Doctor) degrees from [Stanford University](/source/Stanford_University).

## Death

On December 24, 2004, Matsui entered [Bethesda Naval Hospital](/source/Bethesda_Naval_Hospital) with [pneumonia](/source/Pneumonia).[6] It was a complication from [myelodysplastic syndrome](/source/Myelodysplastic_syndrome), a rare [stem cell](/source/Stem_cell) disorder that causes an inability of the [bone marrow](/source/Bone_marrow) to produce blood products, such as [red blood cells](/source/Red_blood_cell), [white blood cells](/source/White_blood_cell) and [platelets](/source/Platelet). He died of pneumonia on January 1, 2005.[13][14]

### Succession

In the special election on March 8 to fill the vacant seat, Matsui's widow [Doris](/source/Doris_Matsui) won with over 68 percent of the vote;[15] she was sworn in on March 10, 2005.[16]
