U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren
Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Senator Warren is the senior United States Senator from Massachusetts, serving since 2013, and was the first woman ever elected to the Senate from Massachusetts. She is a fearless consumer advocate who has made her life's work the fight for middle class families. She is one of the nation’s leading progressive voices, fighting for big structural change that would transform the nation’s economy and rebuild the middle class.
Warren is recognized as one of the nation’s top experts on bankruptcy and the financial pressures facing middle class families and was the driving force behind the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Appointed by President Barack Obama as Assistant to the President and as Special Advisor to the Secretary of the Treasury, she was charged with the job of setting up the agency to hold financial institutions accountable and to protect consumers from unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices.
A graduate of the University of Houston and Rutgers School of Law, Warren was a law professor for more than 30 years, including nearly 20 years as the Leo Gottlieb Professor of Law at Harvard Law School.
