U.S. Senator

The Resume

    (April 29, 1950- )
    Born in Gladwin, Michigan
    Birth name was Deborah Ann Greer
    Served in the Michigan House of Representatives (1979-90) and Senate (1991-94)
    Represented Michigan’s 8th District in Congress (1997-2001)
    US Senator from Michigan (2001- )
    Chaired the Senate Agriculture Committee (2011-15)
    Democrat
    Cameo appearance as the Governor of New Jersey in ‘Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice’ (2016)

Why she might be annoying:

    She ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Michigan (1994).
    While denouncing George W. Bush, she stood next to a sign with the label ‘Dangerously Incompetent’ while wearing a red dress that matched the color of the sign, inadvertently creating an image that was used in campaign ads by future opponents.
    She claims that global warming is already causing ‘more hurricanes and tornados,’ but consistently votes against any bill to regulate greenhouse gases.
    Her call to bring back the Fairness Doctrine to regulate talk radio was criticized as a conflict of interest, since her then-husband, Tom Athans, was an executive at Air America.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She is the least wealthy member of the Senate (as of 2016).
    She sponsored a bill to reduce the dumping of Canadian trash in Michigan.
    She divorced Athans after he was busted in an online prostitution sting.
    She donated her ‘Batman v. Superman’ salary to charity.
