[show]Early life, education, and career[edit]
Born Deborah Wasserman in Forest Hills, Queens, New York,[1] she is the daughter of Ann and Larry Wasserman. Her father is a CPA.[2] She has a younger brother, Steve. From 1968 to 1978 the family lived in Lido Beach, Nassau County, New York. In 1978, her family moved to Melville, Suffolk County, New York where Wasserman graduated from high school in 1984.[3] She received a Bachelor of Arts in 1988 and a Master of Arts with certificate in political campaigning in 1990, both in Political Science, from the University of Florida in Gainesville.[4][5]
At the University of Florida, Wasserman Schultz was active in student government, serving as President of the Student Senate and the founder and president of the Rawlings Area Council Government.[4] She was also a member of theOmicron Delta Kappa honor society, the James C. Grimm chapter of the National Residence Hall Honorary, and the unionGraduate Assistants United, and she served as President of the Graduate Student Council and Vice President of the UF College Democrats.[4][6] She had credited her experience in student politics with developing her "love for politics and the political process".[7]
Florida State Legislature[edit]
In 1988, Wasserman Schultz became an aide to Peter Deutsch at the beginning of his state legislative career.[5][8] In 1992, Deutsch made a successful run for United States House of Representatives for Florida's 20th District. Wasserman Schultz recalled getting a call from Deutsch at the time: "It was really amazing. He called me at home one day in the middle of the legislative session and he said, You could run in my race, your house is in my district."[8] Wasserman Schultz won 53 percent of the vote in a six-way Democratic primary and avoided a runoff.[8] She went on to win the general election and succeeded Deutsch in Florida's House of Representatives. At age 26, she became the youngest female legislator in the state's history.[5][9]
She served in the Florida State House of Representatives for eight years, and had to leave office due to state term limits.[5] She became an adjunct instructor of political science at Broward Community College, as well as a public policy curriculum specialist at Nova Southeastern University. With her experience in the Florida House, she ran successfully for the Florida State Senate in 2000. She supported legislation requiring gender-price parity for dry cleaning and an equal number of men and women were appointed to state boards.[citation needed] She supported several bills including the Florida Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act and one creating a Children's Services Council for Broward County. She received an award from the Save The Manatee Club for her commitment to manatee protection.
