Barbara Boxer

Barbara Boxer is a Senator from California. She has a record for most statewide popular votes with nearly 7 million. Yeah she kicked the Republicans but that badly.

Life
She was born in New York and moved to California after getting married and finishing college. She held a number of jobs including stock broker and journalist.

Barbara Boxer is a person of small height, at around 4''11 she is one of the smallest senators. She stands on a box when speaking at the Senate (refereed to as the Boxer Box, gee aren't they clever?!).

Career
She was originally a part of the House of Representatives. She beat the Republican because of her slogan, Barbara Boxer Gives a Damn." Giving a damn is something that Republicans have a hard time doing.

She ran for one of the two open Californian Senate seat positions in 1992. Her approval rating thus far stands at 51%.

Some speculate that the over bound muscle man who is currently the Governor of Cailfornia will attempt to defeat Barbara Boxer in 2010.

Issues
She has supported stem cell research on the grounds that it can save people's life's, something that her Conservative critics hate.

She supports steps to reduce carbon emission to protect against Global Warming. She has also fought against drilling in ANWR.

Barbara was also one of the Democratic senators that opposed the Iraq War from the get go. On The Daily Show with John Stewart she called it "the best vote of my life". She also opposed Proposition 8 in California which ended the right for gays to marry.

In her career she has helped other Democrats when they run for office.
