Biography
American politician, a U.S. Senator (Dem. Wisconsin), 1983-1993. A Rhodes Scholar and Harvard Law School graduate in 1979, Jewish, he entered politics. For 10 years prior to his U.S. Senate election, he represented a suburb of Madison in the state Senate. The guiding principle in his work is Wisconsin Progressivism. As a kid, his views were shaped by family discussions at the dinner table and his dad’s early involvement in the Progressive Movement. He has fought for better wages and a stronger Social Security program, and striving for the best in public education and quality health care for every American.
Since 1995, Feingold has spearheaded a national, bipartisan effort, along with Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona, to clean up our nation's corrupt campaign finance system. As part of his effort to lessen the influence of money in Washington, Feingold also led the charge on the successful passage of the congressional gift ban in 1995.
Married; he has four kids, two of whom are step kids.
