Elizabeth Warren is the Democratic Senator from Massachusetts. Warren was first a teacher, and then became a lawyer, practicing law out of her home while her second child was just months old. She later went on to become a law professor at Rutgers University, the University of Houston, University of Texas-Austin, University of Michigan, University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard University. It was that political and law savvy that led to her becoming one of the most powerful names in the United States Senate. Per her campaign site, “Elizabeth is widely credited for the original thinking, political courage, and relentless persistence that led to the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. As an assistant to President Barack Obama and special adviser to the Secretary of the Treasury, she led the establishment of the consumer agency to protect consumers from financial tricks and traps often hidden in mortgages, credit cards, and other financial products.” To see pics of the presidential candidate, scroll through this gallery!
