Elected for more than four decades, Lieberman’s record and recognized leadership in historic acts of bipartisan, centrist problem-solving has set an example and a path forward for those with the best interests of the American people at the forefront of their actions. Lieberman’s ability to enter into respectful and productive negotiation at the center represents progress and good governing.

Senator Lieberman offers a master class in effective government, but his ability to remove obstacles by combining his personal religious observance with his public life has much to teach us all. The story of Lieberman’s life and political journey is unique — an Orthodox Jew who rose from a lower middle-class family in Stamford, CT, to become the first Jew nominated for a Presidential ticket of a national political party. He broke down barriers, opened up doors of opportunity for all Americans, and fought to restore the bipartisan center of American politics and government.
