Mr. Thomas W. Schmidt Hunton & Williams Contributing Member Office: 7823 Millcreek Drive Richmond, VA 23235 Phone: 804-788-8370 Fax: 804-788-8218 Email: wschmidt@hunton.com Law School: Yale Law School (2002) Foreign Languages: Latin Practice Areas: Litigation   Mr. Schmidt grew up in Alexandria, Virginia. He first got involved in Republican politics at the age of eleven, when he served as chairman of the Bush/Quayle '88 campaign at Douglas MacArthur Elementary School. Alas, his leadership proved no match for the sixth grade Democratic Machine, and the Bush/Quayle ticket went down to defeat at MacArthur. Mr. Schmidt, speaking on President Bush's behalf, graciously accepted the defeat and decided not to challenge the use of butterfly ballots in the fifth grade precincts. After graduating from T.C. Williams High School as the valedictorian of the Class of 1995, Mr. Schmidt attended Princeton University, where he served as Publisher of The Princeton Tory, Princeton's only conservative student journal. Mr. Schmidt was selected as Latin Salutatorian of Princeton's Class of 1999, despite a Democratic filibuster centering on claims that the Princeton administration had refused to release confidential internal Tory memoranda. Following in the footsteps of one of his legal idols, Justice Clarence Thomas, Mr. Schmidt attended Yale Law School, where his other legal idol, Judge Robert Bork, once taught. Mr. Schmidt currently practices law in Richmond, Virginia.
