Background

Biography

Elizabeth Warren grew up in Oklahoma, according to her Senate biography. She is a graduate of the University of Houston and Rutgers School of Law. Her Harvard Law School faculty page says she taught at the law schools of the University of Pennsylvania, University of Michigan, University of Texas, University of Houston and Rutgers, was a visiting professor at Harvard in 1992-93, and accepted a permanent appointment there as the Leo Gottlieb Professor of Law in 1995.

After the 2008 financial crisis she chaired the Congressional Oversight Panel for the Troubled Asset Relief Program. On September 17, 2010, President Barack Obama named her Assistant to the President and Special Advisor to the Secretary of the Treasury on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, with the lead role in setting up the bureau.

Warren was elected to the Senate in 2012 and took her seat on January 3, 2013. She is a vice chair of the Senate Democratic Conference and the ranking member of the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
