description: "Robert William Ney is an American former politician who represented Ohio's 18th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995 until his resignation on November 3, 2006, after he pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy and making false statements in relation to the Jack Abramoff Indian lobbying scandal. Before he pleaded guilty, Ney was identified in the guilty pleas of Jack Abramoff, former Tom DeLay deputy chief of staff Tony Rudy, former DeLay press secretary Michael Scanlon, and former Ney chief of staff Neil Volz for receiving lavish gifts in exchange for political favors. A Republican, Ney's best-known congressional work was on the election reform efforts founded in the wake of the 2000 election and came controversy over voting in Florida, and his support and backing for the \"Stand Up For Steel\" advocacy and resulting laws in support of the steel industry in the U.S."
