Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton

In November 2000, Hillary Rodham Clinton became the only former First Lady ever elected to the United States Senate. As a leading voice of the Democratic Party, she has worked with colleagues to increase access to health care, strengthen homeland and economic security, and improve education from the preschool level through college.

Clinton serves on the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee; the Environment and Public Works Committee; the Special Committee on Aging; and she is the first New Yorker ever to serve on the Senate Armed Services Committee. Clinton chairs the Senate Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee, responsible for communicating with the public about key issues before Congress.

She is also the author of best-selling books, including her autobiography, Living History; It Takes A Village: and Other Lessons Children Teach Us; Dear Socks, Dear Buddy: Kids’ Letters to the First Pets; and An Invitation to the White House. Clinton graduated from Wellesley College and Yale Law School.
