He is a moderate member of the Republican Party.  Inglis was unseated in the Republican [[Social:Primary election|primary runoff]] in 2010 by a landslide.

In 2012, Inglis launched the Energy and Enterprise Initiative, a nationwide public engagement campaign promoting conservative and free-enterprise solutions to energy and climate challenges.<ref>{{cite news | last = Ferguson | first = Mike | title = Former GOP congressman touts market solutions to climate change | newspaper = Billings Gazette | location = Billings, Montana | date = 8 December 2015 | url = http://billingsgazette.com/news/local/government-and-politics/former-gop-congressman-touts-market-solutions-to-climate-change/article_2c765d17-c35f-5f42-b6e9-2915c1e103f1.html | access-date = 8 December 2015}}</ref> E&EI is based in [[Organization:George Mason University|George Mason University]] in Fairfax, Virginia, and attempts to build support for [[Earth:Energy policy|energy policies]] that are dictated by conservative concepts of [[Philosophy:Limited government|limited government]], [[Social:Big business|big business]], accountability, reasonable risk-avoidance, and free enterprise [[Philosophy:Capitalism|capitalism]].

==Early life, education, and law career==

Inglis was born in Savannah, Georgia, the son of Helen Louise (née McCullough) and Allick Wyllie Inglis Jr. His ancestry is Scottish and {{wipe|England}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~battle/reps/inglis.htm|title=inglis|access-date=March 5, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160201075914/http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~battle/reps/inglis.htm|archive-date=February 1, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> He grew up in Bluffton, South Carolina, near Hilton Head Island.

==U.S. House of Representatives==

===Elections===
;1992
Inglis made his first run for elected office when he won the Republican nomination for the 4th District.  In the general election, he defeated three-term incumbent Democrat Liz J. Patterson, who had earlier defeated Bill Workman and Knox H. White, two Republicans who were successive mayors of Greenville, with White still in the position. In this election, incumbent President George H. W. Bush carried the state with 48% of the vote, although he lost nationally, and South Carolina's majority of voters made it one of the strongest Republican-voting states. Although the 4th District had been trending Republican for some time, Patterson had deep family ties in the district as the daughter of the late, longtime U.S. Senator Olin D. Johnston. Additionally, she had won her first three terms under unfriendly conditions for Democrats.

;1994–1996
Proving just how Republican this district had become, Inglis was re-elected in 1994 and 1996 with no substantive opposition, both times winning more than 70 percent of the vote.

;1998
Inglis had promised during his initial bid for the seat to serve only three terms.  Accordingly, he vacated the seat in 1998 to run for the Senate against Democratic incumbent Ernest Hollings, who had been in office since 1966, as successor to Olin Johnston. Inglis gave Hollings his second close race in a row, holding the longtime Senator to 53 percent of the vote.  After losing the race, Inglis returned to work as a lawyer, practicing commercial real estate and corporate law. He was succeeded in the House by Jim DeMint, who had been an informal adviser to Inglis.

;2004
In 2004, DeMint opted to run for Hollings's open Senate seat instead of seeking re-election to the House. Inglis chose to try for his old House seat. He easily won a three-way Republican primary with 85 percent of the vote, all but assuring his return to Congress. He faced the founder of the HBCU Classic and first African American Democratic candidate to run for the 4th District seat, Brandon P. Brown from Taylors, in the general election. Inglis was re-elected with little difficulty in 2006 and 2008.

;2010
Inglis faced four challengers in the Republican primary—the real contest in this heavily Republican district. It was the first time he faced substantive primary opposition as an incumbent. The challengers included 7th Circuit (Spartanburg) Solicitor Trey Gowdy, state Senator David L. Thomas, college professor and former Historian of the U.S. House Christina Jeffrey, and businessman Jim Lee.<ref name="gt100527" />

In the June 8, 2010, primary election, Inglis finished second with 27 percent of the vote, well behind first-place finisher Gowdy's 39 percent. Inglis was forced into a June 22 run-off election against Gowdy.<ref name="Bell" /> Although he had "racked up a reliably conservative record" during his six terms in the House,<ref>Kornacki, Steve (January 5, 2011) [http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2011/01/05/tea_party_gop_targets/index.html The Republicans who should fear the Tea Party the most] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110107072747/http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2011/01/05/tea_party_gop_targets/index.html |date=January 7, 2011}}, ''Salon.com''</ref> Inglis had been criticized by his primary opponents for certain votes, including his support for the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (which earned him the nickname "Bailout Bob")<ref>McCain, Robert Stacy (June 23, 2010) [http://spectator.org/blog/2010/06/23/good-bye-bailout-bob-inglis Good-Bye, 'Bailout Bob' Inglis] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101231025247/http://spectator.org/blog/2010/06/23/good-bye-bailout-bob-inglis |date=December 31, 2010}}, ''The American Spectator''</ref> and his opposition to the Iraq War troop surge of 2007, and was portrayed as removed from the interests of the district.<ref name="Bell" /><ref name=tpm100609 /> Inglis had attacked Gowdy's conservatism and questioned his opponent's support for creating a costly lake in Union County, South Carolina.<ref name="Bell" />

In the runoff, Gowdy defeated Inglis in a landslide, 71–29 percent.<ref name="cq100622" /> Following his defeat in the Republican primary, Inglis criticized the [[Social:Tea Party movement|Tea Party movement]], which had supported his opponent's campaign, as well as the Republican Party for courting the movement, stating, "It's a dangerous strategy, to build conservatism on information and policies that are not credible."<ref>{{cite news |first=David|last=Corn |url=http://motherjones.com/politics/2010/08/bob-inglis-tea-party-casualty?page=1 |work=Mother Jones |title=Confessions of a Tea Party Casualty |date=August 3, 2010 |access-date=August 3, 2010}}</ref>

===Tenure===
Inglis's 2010 Republican primary opponents asserted that his voting record in his second House tenure was more moderate than his first. He was one of seventeen House Republicans who voted for a Democratic resolution opposing the Iraq War troop surge of 2007, and spoke against [[Earth:Climate change denial|climate change denial]], offshore oil drilling and warrantless surveillance after his return to the House.<ref name="pol090407"/> In response, Inglis pointed to his 93.5% lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union<ref name="ts100526"/> and his endorsements from the National Rifle Association and National Right to Life Committee.<ref name="gt100527"/>

On [[Earth:Climate change|climate change]], Inglis said that conservatives should go with the facts, and the science, and accept the National Academy of Sciences' conclusion that climate change is caused by human activities and poses significant risks, which 97 percent of climate scientists agree with.<ref>{{cite web|title=Facts: Scientific Consensus|url=https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/|website=Global Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet|publisher=NASA}}</ref> Studies conclude that coal power plants are responsible for 23,600 premature deaths in the U.S. per year, and conservatives should hold them accountable, he said, perhaps with a [[Earth:Carbon tax|carbon tax]] on their emissions.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.businessweek.com/news/2011-10-02/conservative-means-standing-with-science-on-climate-bob-inglis.html|title=Bloomberg Business|work=Bloomberg.com|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111005095046/http://www.businessweek.com/news/2011-10-02/conservative-means-standing-with-science-on-climate-bob-inglis.html|archive-date=October 5, 2011|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

Inglis is a staunch advocate of a federal prohibition of online poker.  He also supported actions to aid people in war-torn Darfur.  In 2006, he co-sponsored H.R. 4411, the Goodlatte-Leach Internet Gambling Prohibition Act<ref name="hr4411"/> and H.R. 4777, the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act.<ref name="hr4777"/> On December 27, 2008, Inglis published an op-ed in ''{{wipe|The New York Times}}'' in support of a revenue neutral carbon tax.<ref name="nyt081227"/>

In October 2007, before the South Carolina 2008 Republican presidential primary, Inglis told presidential candidate Mitt Romney, a Mormon, "[Y]ou cannot equate Mormonism with Christianity; you cannot say, 'I am a Christian just like you.'" Inglis stated "If he [Romney] does that, every Baptist preacher in the South is going to have to go to the pulpit on Sunday and explain the differences."<ref name="bn071030"/>

On September 15, 2009, Inglis was one of seven Republicans to cross party lines in voting to disapprove fellow South Carolina Republican Joe Wilson for a lack of decorum during President Obama's address to a joint session of Congress.<ref name="vote090915"/> He was one of eight House Republicans to support the DREAM Act.

==Awards and honors==
Inglis was the recipient of the 2015 Profile in Courage Award from the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation "for the courage he demonstrated when reversing his position on climate change after extensive briefings with scientists, and discussions with his children, about the impact of atmospheric warming on our future."<ref>John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, [http://www.jfklibrary.org/About-Us/News-and-Press/Press-Releases/2015-Profile-in-Courage-Announcement.aspx]</ref> His embrace of the scientific evidence of climate change and advocacy for a carbon tax drew intense criticism from fellow Republicans, and Inglis was defeated in the June 2010 Republican primary.  He "figures prominently"<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/mar/24/bob-inglis-advocates-action-to-fight-climate-chang/ |title=Bob Inglis breaks from Republican Party, advocates action to fight climate change |last=Althoff |first=Eric |publisher=The Washington Times |date=March 24, 2015 |access-date=December 14, 2020}}</ref> in the 2014 ''Merchants of Doubt'' documentary as an interviewee exposing the methods of science deniers.

On October 2, 2023, Inglis wrote a strong Op-Ed in the {{wipe|New York Times}} urging his fellow Republicans to consider the long range consequences of their votes, and arguing that when they "grow up" and look back on their careers they will ask themselves "Was I an agent of chaos in a house divided, or did I work to bring America together, healing rifts and bridging divides?" <ref>"My Fellow Republicans: It's Time to Grow Up." Guest Essay in the {{wipe|New York Times}}, October 2, 2023</ref>

==Personal life==
Inglis and his wife Mary Anne have five grown children, and they live on a small farm near Travelers Rest, north of Greenville. He is a member of St. John in the Wilderness, an Episcopal congregation in Flat Rock, NC.

==Opposition to Donald Trump==
In October 2016, Inglis was one of thirty GOP ex-lawmakers to sign a public letter condemning Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.<ref>{{cite news|author1=Bash, Dana|author2=Tal, Kopan|title=30 Former GOP Lawmakers Sign Anti-Trump Letter|url=http://us.cnn.com/2016/10/06/politics/republican-lawmakers-never-trump-letter/index.html|access-date=10 October 2016|work=CNN|date=6 October 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Caldwell|first1=Leigh Ann|title=Thirty Former GOP Congressmen Come Out Against Trump|url=http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/thirty-former-gop-congressmen-come-out-against-trump-n660906|access-date=23 October 2016|work=NBC News|date=6 October 2016}}</ref> He had previously said, in a May 2016 interview with Chris Hayes, that "under no circumstances" could he vote for Trump.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Coyne|first1=Amanda|title=Ex-Rep.

It is quite another to amplify those fears—that is surely the worst possible kind of leadership. It's demagoguery. The real sadness for me is that we knew it, and yet we voted for it.
