Mark Udall, US senator for Colorado has climbed some serious routes in the Himalaya, including on Kanchenjunga.
He is mentioned in several books on the Himalaya,the AAJ, and is mentioned on the front page of the American Alpine Club website:

He may be the "biggest" climber that is currently a US politician.
