One of the longest serving Members of Congress, and Dean of Connecticut’s congressional delegation, progressive leader Rosa DeLauro has represented New Haven and its suburbs for over 30 years.
DeLauro has built a reputation as a hard-working, passionate and forthright advocate for her constituents, an honest broker who works with members across the political spectrum. She is a founding member of the Progressive Caucus. She belongs to 62 House caucus groups and is the co-chair of the Baby Caucus, the Long Island Sound Caucus and the Food Safety Caucus.
Soon after earning degrees from Marymount College and Columbia University, Rosa followed in her parents’ footsteps into public service, serving as the first executive director of EMILY's List, the executive director of Countdown '87 – the national campaign that successfully stopped US military aid to the Nicaraguan Contras – and as chief of staff to US Senator Christopher Dodd.
