Meet the Better Half: Congressional Partners, Spouses, and Families

William G. McGowan Theater
Washington, DC

The partners, siblings, and children of our Representatives in Washington, DC, all make decisions to help and support their congressional families and take on the mantle of public service. A bipartisan panel will discuss life in the public eye and meet both current and former Members of Congress and the partners who have shared their family members with the nation. Moderated by Dr. Lara Brown, Director of the Graduate School of Political Management, George Washington University, panelists include Former Members of Congress Don Manzullo (R-IL) and his wife, Freda Manzullo; and Russ Carnahan (D-MO) and his wife, Debra Carnahan.

Presented in partnership with the U.S. Association of Former Members of Congress.
