House member Rosa De Lauro
Eighty-years old, she's been elected to serve the Nutmeg State's 3rd Congressional District 17 times. A student at the London School of Economics and Columbia Univ., graduating with a degree in international politics, we're unaware of her background in automobile safety devices, gender-specific weaknesses in car crashes or studies that would apply to the issue.
Her first foray into electoral politics was as the campaign manager for senator Chris Dodd and a co-ordinator of the Michael Dukakis presidential campaign. During her successful 1990 US House campaign, state Republican chair Richard Foley referred to her as "Walter Mondale in drag".
Her husband is Stanley Greenberg, a Democratic pollster and political consultant credited with the electoral success of both Bill Clinton and Tony Blair.
