She served as an assistant whip in the 108th and 109th Congress, and served as a deputy whip for the 110th and 111th Congress.

Ms. Blackburn has a B.A. Degree in Home Economics from Mississippi State University, a research university ranked 142nd in the US by US News in 2014.

One has to wonder if she is the best possible person to be crafting law and policy. One also has to wonder why it is that more scientists and engineers are not elected to public office.
