About the Author

At age 26 Debbie was the youngest woman elected to the Florida state legislature and at 39 the first Jewish Congresswoman ever elected from Florida; she represents the state's 20th Congressional district, covering Broward and Miami-Dade counties. Wife and mother of three, breast cancer survivor, and congresswoman, Debbie is a bastion of democracy and a fiercely dedicated Democrat. Appointed DNC Chair on May 4, 2011, Ms. Wasserman Schultz became, practically overnight, the face of the Democratic Party in this election year.
