*** About Elizabeth Warren ***

Elizabeth Warren is widely credited for the original thinking, political courage, and relentless persistence that led to the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)—and as an assistant to President Barack Obama and special adviser to the Secretary of the Treasury, Elizabeth led the establishment of the consumer agency to protect consumers from financial tricks and traps often hidden in mortgages, credit cards, and other financial products.

Wall Street opposed the CFPB, and they didn’t want Elizabeth—the agency’s biggest champion—to run it. So after Senate Republicans vowed to block Elizabeth’s nomination to serve as the first director of the CFPB, she ran for the United States Senate in her home state of Massachusetts. Elizabeth won—and then she won again. Elizabeth Warren has served as the Bay State’s Senior Senator since 2013.

Elizabeth Warren and her husband Bruce Mann have been married for 38 years. They have three grandchildren and a golden retriever named Bailey.
