He gained significant national attention after the May 2001 disappearance of Chandra Levy, an intern with the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Condit and Levy were having an affair, and she was subsequently found to have been murdered.

Early lifeEdit

Gary Condit was born in Salina, Oklahoma, on April 21, 1948,<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> the son of Velma Jean (Tidwell) Condit (1929–2017) and Adrian Burl Condit (1927–2021), a Baptist minister.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name=s2s>Template:Cite news</ref> He was raised and educated in Oklahoma, and graduated from Tulsa's Nathan Hale High School.<ref name="CNN-profile"/> During the summers of his high school years, Condit worked as a roustabout in Oklahoma's oil fields.<ref name=s2s/> In 1967, at age 18, he married his high school sweetheart Carolyn Berry.<ref name=s2s/> An investigation by journalists in 2001 revealed that Condit provided the wrong birth date for his marriage license.<ref name=s2s/> At the time, Oklahoma required males under age 21 to have parental consent to marry; by claiming to have been born in 1942 rather than 1948, Condit appeared to be older than 18.<ref name=s2s/>

Political careerEdit

Condit began his career on the Ceres city council from 1972 to 1976—the last two years as mayor. He became the youngest mayor in the city's history at the age of 25. Condit served on the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors from 1976 to 1982, and was elected to the California State Assembly in 1982.

California State AssemblyEdit

In 1988, Condit was a member of the "Gang of Five"Template:Sndwith Charles M. Calderon of Whittier, Gerald R. Eaves of Rialto, Rusty Areias of Los Banos and Steve Peace of Chula Vista<ref name="AFP">"Willie Brown: The Members' Speaker" Template:Webarchive by James D. Richardson, 1994.

U.S. House of RepresentativesEdit

Condit was elected to Congress in 1989 in a special election after the resignation of House Democratic Whip Tony Coelho. He was elected to a full term in 1990, and reelected five more times without serious difficulty (Condit had no Republican challenger during the general elections of 1992 and 1998). His most important committee assignment was as a senior member on the House Intelligence Committee in the months and years prior to the September 11 attacks. Like most Democrats from the Central Valley, Condit was somewhat more conservative than other Democrats from California. Being a Blue Dog Democrat, Condit voted against President Bill Clinton more frequently than other members of his party in the chamber.<ref name="Salon0714">"Stunned in Sacramento" Template:Webarchive by Anthony York, July 14, 2001.

In 1998, during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Condit publicly demanded that Clinton "come clean" on his relationship with the young woman; a video of this demand was aired almost daily during Condit's own scandal involving a relationship with Bureau of Prisons intern Chandra Levy.<ref name="JJ">"Chandra Levy's Jewish Angle" by James D.

Levy scandalEdit

Reporters with Condit, August 17, 2001

In 2001, Condit became the subject of national news coverage after the disappearance of Chandra Levy, a young woman working as a Washington, D.C., intern, originally from Condit's district. Police questioned Condit twice, and both times he denied having an extramarital affair with her; however, Levy's aunt eventually went public with conversations she had with her about their relationship. Police questioned Condit a third time, and he confessed to the affair.<ref name="CNN-profile">"Gary Condit Profile: Levy case opens door on secret life" Undated article published in July 2001. CNN News. Accessed December 19, 2006.</ref><ref name="CNN0707">"Police sources: Condit admits to affair with Levy" Template:Webarchive July 7, 2001. CNN News. Accessed December 19, 2006.</ref> When the affair began, Condit was 53 and Levy was 23. While Condit was not named as an official suspect in the disappearance, Levy's family suspected that he was withholding important information. His reputation suffered from the contrast between his "pro-family" politics, his adultery with a woman younger than his daughter, and his attempts to mislead the police regarding his affair. In July, two months after Levy vanished, Condit agreed to let investigators search his apartment; hours before the search, police said he was spotted throwing a gift box he had received from another woman into a dumpster in a Washington suburb.<ref name="CNN-profile" /> This followed news reports that Condit had had an affair with a flight attendant.<ref name="Fox0711">Template:Cite news</ref>

Levy's remains were not found during the extensive search that followed her disappearance, and were discovered accidentally May 22, 2002, in a secluded area of Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C., and the death was declared a homicide. In late 2002, Condit sued writer Dominick Dunne of Vanity Fair for $11 million, claiming that Dunne defamed him by suggesting he ordered Levy killed in 2001. Condit's attorney said that the libel lawsuit was based on comments Dunne repeated on national radio and television programs in December 2001, where he suggested Condit frequented Middle Eastern embassies for sexual activity with prostitutes and that, during those times, he made it clear that he wanted someone to get rid of Levy. Condit's attorney said that Dunne's comments "conveyed that Gary Condit was involved in her kidnapping and in her murder, that friends of Gary Condit had her kidnapped, put in an airplane and dropped in the Atlantic Ocean." Dunne paid an undisclosed amount to settle that lawsuit in March 2005.<ref name="Scripps-Howard20070604">Template:Cite news</ref> Dunne said he had been "completely hoodwinked" by an unreliable informant. Subsequently, Condit sued Dunne again, charging him with "revivifying" the slander in an appearance on CNN's Larry King Live in November 2005. In July 2008 a federal judge dismissed the second lawsuit filed against Dunne.<ref name="CNN0708">Template:Cite news</ref>

In July 2006, Condit sued the Sonoran News, a free weekly newspaper, for defamation of character after the publication wrote "that Condit was the 'main focus in the Chandra Levy case in 2001, after lying to investigators about his affair with Levy.Template:' "<ref name="ModB0726">Doyle, Michael. "Condit: Plaintiff and defendant" Template:Webarchive, Modesto Bee, 26 July 2006. Accessed 19 December 2006.</ref> The case was dismissed in July 2007 when the judge ruled that Condit had not proved the statement was false, or that the paper had published it with malice. Years later, Condit publicly denied ever having an affair with Chandra Levy.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Police continued the murder investigation, and in March 2009, a warrant was issued for the arrest of Ingmar Guandique, an undocumented immigrant from El Salvador who had already been convicted and imprisoned for two other attacks on women in Rock Creek Park. He was subsequently indicted for Levy's murder.<ref name="WP-20090528-pleads">Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="Finding-Chandra">Template:Cite book</ref> On November 22, 2010, Guandique was found guilty of first-degree murder,<ref name="WP-20101122-convicted">Template:Cite news</ref> and was sentenced in February 2011 to 60 years in prison.<ref name="BBC News">"BBC News: Chandra Levy: Guandique gets 60 years for 2001 murder" BBC News US & Canada, February 11, 2011</ref> Condit's lawyer Bert Fields said, "It's a complete vindication but that comes a little late. Who gives him his career back?"<ref name="USAToday-20101122-convicts">Template:Cite news</ref> On June 4, 2015, D.C. Superior Court Judge Gerald Fisher granted a motion for the retrial of Guandique after it was revealed that the sole witness against him, a jailhouse informant named Armando Morales, had lied about prior jailhouse testimony.<ref name="Guandique_retrial_motion">"Judge grants new trial in death of intern Chandra Levy" Template:Webarchive Fox News Channel from Associated Press: June 4, 2015. Accessed June 4, 2015</ref> Prosecutors dropped all charges against Guandique on July 28, 2016, after an associate of Morales came forward with secret recordings in which he admitted to falsifying testimony about the murder of Levy.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Levy's death therefore remains unsolved.

Business careerEdit

After his departure from office, Condit moved to Arizona and operated two Baskin-Robbins ice cream stores with his wife and son.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> When the franchise failed, Condit was ordered to pay the company $98,000 in a breach of contract proceeding.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In 2012, he was reported to be serving as president of the Phoenix Institute of Desert Agriculture,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> which listed its status as "Dissolved" in the last corporate filing as of June 4, 2015.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Condit later returned to California, where he became a registered lobbyist with the J.

FamilyEdit

Involvement in local politicsEdit

In 2012, Condit's son, Chad, announced his intention to run for the House of Representatives as an independent in California's redrawn 10th congressional district. He lost in the top-two election against incumbent Republican Jeff Denham and Democratic challenger José M. Hernández.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In 2022, Chad ran for the State Assembly to represent the 22nd Assembly district. Chad finished in 3rd place in the jungle primary and did not advance to the general election.<ref name="CAprimsos">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> After his loss, Chad worked on Marie Alvarado-Gil's campaign for State Senate, and became her chief of staff after she won her election. In December 2023, he was fired from his position, and later sued Alvarado-Gil alleging sexual harassment.<ref name="Benzinger-2024-09-11">Template:Cite news</ref>

Condit's daughter, Cadee Condit Gray, is married to Congressman Adam Gray representing California's 13th congressional district since 2025. Gray also served as a California State Assembly member representing the 21st district (2012–2022).<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 2020, Condit's nephew Buck was elected to the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors for district 1, defeating Modesto City Councilman Bill Zoslocki 58.77% to 41.23%.
