In his two terms in the United States Senate, Connecticutís Joe
Lieberman has earned a national reputation as a thoughtful,
principled, and effective legislator.
He is known as a Democrat who works across party lines to find
common ground, who speaks his conscience, and who gets things
done for his constituents and his country.
That reputation is based on a diverse and distinguished record:
Lieberman is a respected leader on reforming and modernizing our
nation's defenses, a prominent voice on foreign policy issues,
and an influential champion of international human rights. He is
equally strong in his support for investing in our public schools
and spurring bold education reform.
Lieberman is pro-business, pro-trade, and pro-economic growth. He
is equally committed to protecting Americaís environment and
consumers.
Lieberman is a vocal advocate for campaign finance reform and
restoring public confidence in the political process. And he is
equally dedicated to strengthening Americaís families and
renewing our common values.
JOE LIEBERMAN was first elected to the Senate in 1988, scoring
the nationís biggest political upset that year by a margin of
just 10,000 votes. Six years later, he made history by winning
the biggest landslide victory ever in a Connecticut Senate race,
drawing 67 percent of the vote and beating his opponent by more
than 350,000 votes.
In endorsing his reelection in 1994, The New York Times wrote,
"Congress would be a better place if more of his veteran
colleagues were as good. In only one term he has influenced the
course of federal legislation for the benefit of Connecticut and
the nation."
Since then, Lieberman has received praise from an increasingly
wide range of colleagues and commentators. The Day of New London
wrote, ìSenator Lieberman has elevated the debate beyond partisan
interests.î The New York Post described him as ìrespected as a
true man of integrity by Republicans and Democrats alike.î
And The Almanac of American Politics 1998 began its profile this
way: ìJoseph Lieberman in a decade in the Senate has exerted
influence out of proportion to his seniority, committee position
or political clout, an influence that came from respect for his
independence of mind, civility of spirit and fidelity to causes
in which he believes.î
Lieberman's accomplishments include: Strengthening National
Security
* Securing funding to strengthen and modernize Americaís military
forces
* Co-authoring the Gulf War Resolution;
* Passing the International Religious Freedom Act to promote the
right to worship freely across the globe;
* Rallying support in Congress to stop the genocidal slaughter in
Bosnia and Kosovo. Expanding Economic Growth
* Fighting for a balanced budget and fiscal discipline to help
lower interest rates and keep the economy growing;
* Promoting new funding for research and development in science
and technology, a key to our innovation-oriented economy;
* Cutting capital gains taxes to spur new investment for American
industries;
* Creating new skills training initiatives for American workers;
* Supporting the development of e-commerce, including a
moratorium on Internet taxes. Improving Education
* Authoring landmark education reform legislation that would
dramatically increase funding for disadvantaged students, give
states and local districts greater flexibility in targeting their
resources, and set tough accountability standards to demand
results; * Working to put a qualified teacher in every classroom;
* Expanding educational options for parents by expanding funding
for charter schools; * Increasing access to student loans and
federal financial aid; * Creating education IRAs to help families
save for college.
Protecting the Environment
* Strengthening Clean Air standards and cracking down on illegal
polluters;
* Leading the fight against extreme "regulatory reform"
legislation that would undercut our ability to protect natural
resources, public health, and American families;
* Fighting to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in
Alaska from oil drilling;
* Creating Connecticutís first national park at Weir Farm;
* Promoting national wildlife refuges along the Connecticut River
and the Sound coastline;
* Fighting lead poisoning, Lyme Disease, pesticide use in
schools, and the spread of the deadly West Nile Virus.
Reforming Government
* Writing the first major campaign finance law to pass in a
generation, which closed a loophole that allowed political
organizations to raise and spend money in secret;
* Winning passage of the Congressional Accountability Act, which
makes Congress live by the same laws it applies to the nation;
* Exposing government waste, such as the federal contracts that
paid 67 cents a page for photocopying services and $69 an hour
for security guards;
* Promoting ìe-governmentî and improving federal services through
the Internet. Strengthening Communities
* Co-sponsoring the Crime Bill and winning funding to put more
cops on the beat in Connecticut;
* Creating Enterprise Zones to stimulate investment and rebuild America's
cities;
* Supporting sweeping Welfare Reform bill and adding provisions
to assist teenage mothers, discourage out-of-wedlock pregnancies,
and help states that move welfare recipients into self-supporting
jobs;
* Helping low-income families save for the future and build
economic security through Individual Development Accounts;
* Fighting for common-sense gun safety laws.
Protecting Common Values
* Co-authoring the V-chip law to give parents new tools to shield
their children from offensive and harmful programs on television;
* Pushing the video game industry to create a rating system to
help parents make informed choices for their children;
* Spurring new efforts to make the Internet safer for kids;
* Raising awareness of the growing crisis of father absence and
supporting grassroots efforts to promote responsible fatherhood;
* Fighting discrimination in the workplace based on religion and
sexual orientation.
In addition to his work in Washington, Lieberman is proud of his
success in cutting through government red tape to help tens of
thousands of constituents -- recovering lost Social Security
checks, securing long-overdue military medals, obtaining
life-saving medical treatment, winning approval for small
business loans, and delivering desperately-needed disaster
relief.
Lieberman is also proud of his close connection to the people of
Connecticut, which he maintains with his well-known tour of
diners around the state. To date Lieberman has visited more than
100 local eateries, where his constituents have a cup of joe with
Joe and Lieberman gets an unfiltered taste of their concerns and
views.
Lieberman was born in Stamford, Connecticut on February 24, 1942,
and attended public schools there. He received his bachelor's
degree from Yale College in 1964 and his law degree from Yale Law
School in 1967.
Lieberman was elected to the Connecticut State Senate in 1970 and
served there for 10 years, including the last 6 as Majority
Leader. From 1982 to 1988, he served as Connecticut's 21st
Attorney General.
He is the author of five books: The Power Broker (1966), a
biography of the late Democratic Party chairman, John M. Bailey;
The Scorpion and the Tarantula (1970), a study of early efforts
to control nuclear proliferation; The Legacy (1981), a history of
Connecticut politics from 1930-1980; Child Support in America
(1986), a guidebook on methods to increase the collection of
child support from delinquent fathers, and In Praise of Public
Life (2000), a spirited defense of public life that draws on
personal experience.
In the U.S. Senate, Lieberman is a member of the powerful Armed
Services Committee, the Environment and Public Works Committee,
the Small Business Committee, and the Governmental Affairs
Committee. In 1999, Lieberman became the ranking Democrat on the
Governmental Affairs Committee.
Since 1995, Lieberman has been chairman of the Democratic
Leadership Council, which is ìan idea center, catalyst, and
national voice for a reform movement that is reshaping American
politics by moving it beyond the old left-right debate.î
Lieberman lives in New Haven with his wife Hadassah. They are the
parents of four children: Matthew, 32; Rebecca, 31; Ethan, 24;
and Hana, 12. He also has two granddaughters, Tennessee and
Willie D.
ìSen. Joe Lieberman is an embodiment and an apostle of a
Democratic philosophy that incorporates market-oriented thinking
of the Reagan revolution and a muscular defense and foreign
policy.î - columnist David Broder
ìStrong on defense and tough on crime...a strong environmentalist
and consumerist...Lieberman is quality goods.î - columnist Ben
Wattenberg
ìLieberman ranks among the Senate's bestî. -- The New Republic
