Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Edgar Willard Hiestand (December 3, 1888 August 19, 1970) was a staunch Anti-Communist who served ten years in the United States Congress. Hiestand was born in Chicago, Illinois on December 3, 1888. A Republican and member of the John Birch Society, he represented California's 21st Congressional District from 1953 until 1963, when he was defeated by Everett G. Burkhalter, a Burbank incumbent city councilman. The 21st district covered the northern 2/3 of Los Angeles County, including the cities of Pasadena and Sierra Madre on the east to Burbank and the San Fernando Valley on the west and the Antelope Valley (including Edwards Air Force Base) on the north. In 1962, the Democratic California Legislature re-districted Hiestand into the western section of the old 21st district, which was more heavily Democratic. Hiestand served on the House Education and Labor Committee where he sponsored and supported revisions to the business-labor statutes. He was an advisor to President Eisenhower on labor/management issues.
