Elizabeth Warren: US Senator

Massachusetts Democrat Elizabeth Warren has been a US Senator since 2012 when she beat the incumbent, Republican Scott Brown. She was the first in her family to graduate college, with a Rutgers University law degree. Before winning her Senate seat, Warren was the majority leader of the Congressional Oversight Panel for TARP (the Troubled Asset Relief Program).

Warren campaigned for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. When Clinton lost the election, Warren decided to throw her hat in the ring for 2020. Warren announced her bid in 2019 on a healthcare initiative platform (“Medicare for All”), similar to the one proposed by Senator Bernie Sanders. Warren suspended her campaign in March 2020 after disappointing numbers on Super Tuesday.
