Born on April 13, 1933 in Auburn, California Auburn is the county seat of Placer County, California, USA. The population was 12,462 at the 2000 census. It is well-known for its California Gold Rush history and boasts one of the best preserved historic downtowns in the state.  to Mary Vierra, a Portuguese immigrant, and Albert Campbell This article is about the Canadian politician. For the U.S. Representative from Montana, see Albert J. Campbell.
Albert McTaggart (Ab) Campbell (1910–1973) was the Chairman of Metropolitan Toronto from 1969 to 1973.
, a Northern Cheyenne Indian, Sen. Campbell was first elected to the Senate on November 3, 1992. In 1997, Sen. Campbell became the first Native American to chair the Indian Affairs Committee. During the 106th Congress, he had more freestanding free·stand·ing  
adj.
Standing or operating independently of anything else: a freestanding bell tower; a freestanding maternity clinic.
 Senate legislation passed into law (12 public laws) than any other member of Congress. In 1998, he was re-elected with 62 percent of the vote. He retired from the U.S. Senate at the end of his second term in January 2005.

Sen. Campbell experienced many family hardships as a child growing up. Like so many Native Americans, Sen. Campbell's father had grown up in a time of shame for anyone with an Indian background and preferred to keep his ties to his roots a secret. He was an alcoholic and would leave home for weeks and months at a time, eventually leaving the family for good. Sen. Campbell's mother, born off the coast of Portugal, suffered with bouts of tuberculosis, which she had contracted when she was six, and was often unable to care for her son, forcing him to spend much of his childhood in orphanages. This difficult childhood produced a spirit in him not unlike his Cheyenne ancestors. As warriors, it has been said that Cheyenne Indians "gave out, but never gave up."

Sen. Campbell's determination and engaging spirit made it a perfect fit for him to enter the political arena, where these components, along with his perseverance, have left a mark on American history. From 1987-1992, prior to his election to the U.S. Senate, Sen. Campbell served in the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Colorado's Third Congressional District Noun 1. congressional district - a territorial division of a state; entitled to elect one member to the United States House of Representatives
