She has also held other positions in government during her time in politics, and as she continues her endeavors, it is expected that her wealth will also continue to increase.

Early Life and Education

Elizabeth was born the fourth child of a middle-class family of part-English descent, and was raised a Methodist. The family later moved to Norman, Oklahoma and she would grow up there until her father passed away, which forcing her to start working to pay numerous medical bills. She attended Northwest Classen High School, and during her time there would win a high school debate championship, which led to a debate scholarship at George Washington University.

However, two years into college, she left school to marry Jim Warren, whom she had first met during high school. The couple moved to Houston, and she then continued her studies by enrolling at the University of Houston, graduating in 1970 with a degree in speech pathology and audiology. She initially began her career by teaching children with disabilities, before the family moved to New Jersey. They had a daughter, and Elizabeth then enrolled at Rutgers University, Newark School of Law, completing her Juris Doctorate in 1976, and passing the bar examination, then initially performed legal services at home. She had another child with Jim, before they divorced in 1978. Two years later, she married law professor Bruce H. Mann, and they remain together, based in Boston, Massachusetts.

It made no sense for Bruce and me to get a puppy. After all, I’m traveling back and forth to Washington nearly every week, and Bruce has a full-time job. We have no kids at home to help out. And a puppy is a bother – chewing everything, piddling on the floor, crying in the middle of the night. You know what the don’t-do-this list looks like. But Otis, our big, solid golden retriever had gotten me through my first Senate campaign. When all the decisions and demands crowded in, Bruce and I would walk Otis around Fresh Pond. If I really felt aggravated by some Republican attack, I’d brush Otis. And every evening, Bruce, Otis and I would settle on the couch for an hour of television. Otis died of cancer just five days before the 2012 election. And once he was gone, I couldn’t do it again. From time to time, Bruce and I would talk about it, but a new puppy made no sense. The fights in Washington have gotten more intense. The stakes have gotten higher. The losses have mounted up. A few weeks ago, Bruce said, “We’re getting a dog.” I started to recite the list, and Bruce just smiled. “The heart wants what the heart wants.” And now we have Bailey who chews, piddles, and makes my heart happy. Today is our anniversary, and I’m reminded of one more reason I love Bruce: He knows about the things my heart wants. Happy anniversary. I love you, sweetie.
