Elizabeth Warren

Elizabeth Ann Warren (English: Elizabeth Ann Warren; born June 22, 1949), formerly known as Herring, is an American Democratic politician. She is a senior federal senator from Massachusetts. Warren was born and raised in Oklahoma. He is a graduate of the University of Houston and Rutgers University-Newark School of Law and has taught at several universities, including the University of Houston, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard University. Warren is the author of 12 books and more than 100 articles. Warren's first foray into public policy came in 1995, when she fought against a bill ultimately passed in 2005 that would have limited personal bankruptcy. In the late 2000s, her national profile grew as a result of her public support for tighter bank regulation after the 2008 financial crisis. She served as chair of the Congressional Oversight Group on the Troubled Asset Relief Program and proposed the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, serving as its first special counsel during President Obama's term. In 2012, Warren defeated then-Republican Senator Scott Brown and became the first female U.S. Senator from Massachusetts. In 2018, she was re-elected by a large margin, defeating Republican candidate Jeff Deal. On February 9, 2019, Warren announced her participation in the 2020 US presidential election. She was briefly considered a front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination late in the year, but her support subsequently declined. She dropped out of the race on March 5, 2020, following Super Tuesday. In 2024, she was successfully re-elected and started her third Senate term.
