Elizabeth Holtzman Select Committee To I Biography & Facts
Elizabeth Holtzman (born August 11, 1941) is an American attorney and politician who served in the United States House of Representatives from New York's 16th congressional district as a member of the Democratic Party from 1973 to 1981. She then served as district attorney of Kings County from 1982 to 1989, and as the 40th Comptroller of New York City from 1990 to 1993. Holtzman ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination in New York's 10th congressional district in the 2022 election. Early life and education Elizabeth Holtzman was born in Brooklyn, New York, on August 11, 1941, to Russian immigrants Sidney Holtzman, a lawyer, and Filia Ravitz, who had a doctorate from Columbia University and later headed the Russia department at Hunter College. She has a twin brother. Her family is Jewish, and she attended Hebrew school. She attended the Ethical Culture Fieldston School and Abraham Lincoln High School. She was elected vice president of the student government in 1958, while her brother was its president. Holtzman graduated magna cum laude from Radcliffe College in 1961, where she majored in American history and literature, and from Harvard Law School in 1965. She was one of 15 women in the 500 students in her Harvard Law School class. She was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Career Legal and education Holtzman joined the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee while at Harvard. She worked on civil rights cases in Georgia and for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. During her time in Georgia she worked as a law clerk for Chevene Bowers King. She was admitted to the New York State Bar Association. She began working for Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison in 1970, and left to run for office in 1972. She was elected to the Harvard Board of Overseers in 1976, and worked at New York University School of Law from 1981 to 1982. Holtzman was a member of a delegation that went to Paraguay to search for Josef Mengele in 1984. President Bill Clinton appointed her to the Nazi War Crimes and Japanese Imperial Government Records Interagency Working Group. In 2013, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel appointed her to a panel to review the handling of sexual assault cases in the military. She was appointed to the Homeland Security Advisory Council in 2014, but resigned in protest of the family separation policy for the Mexico–United States border. Holtzman opposed Clinton's impeachment, saying that the crimes he was accused of were not comparable to the crimes that Richard Nixon were accused of. She also said that Ken Starr "overstepped his jurisdiction" by not conducting his report in a similar manner to Leon Jaworski, the special counsel for Nixon's impeachment. In 2006, she wrote in favor of impeaching President George W. Bush in The Nation. Early politics Holtzman worked on Adlai Stevenson II's and Eugene McCarthy's presidential campaigns. She was a liaison officer in the Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Affairs Administration from 1967 to 1970, during John Lindsay's mayoralty. She left her position as a liaison officer to run for the New York State Democratic Committee from Flatbush, Brooklyn. She conducted her campaign from her parents' basement. In 1970, Holtzman filed suit against a law that placed incumbents at the top of the ballot line; the New York Court of Appeals ruled in her favor, five to two. Holtzman founded the Brooklyn Women's Political Caucus. United States House of Representatives Elections 1972–1978 On March 28, 1972, Holtzman announced her candidacy for the Democratic nomination for the United States House of Representatives from New York's 16th congressional district. Michael Churchill was her campaign manager. In the primary, she faced incumbent Representative Emanuel Celler, the dean of the House of Representatives and chair of the Judiciary Committee, who was first elected in 1922. It was the first time Holtzman had run for public office. She believed that Celler was vulnerable as he had no district office, his residency was under question, and he largely went unmentioned in his district's political circles. After she filed to run against him, Celler said, "As far as I'm concerned, she doesn't exist." Holtzman criticized Celler's low voting attendance, which she said negated his seniority. Celler had the support of the Liberal Party of New York and the Democratic political machine in Brooklyn. This was the second time that he had faced opposition in a primary. Holtzman raised around $32,000 and borrowed $4,000 during the primary, though she was told she needed $100,000 to run her campaign. She defeated Celler and Robert O'Donnell in the primary. Celler attempted to have the primary voided and another one held, but Brooklyn Supreme Court Judge Dominic Rinaldi ruled against him and the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court ruled unanimously against him. The New York Court of Appeals ruled five to two against Celler. Although Celler was still on the general election ballot as the Liberal Party nominee, he announced on September 28 that he would end his campaign. Holtzman defeated Republican nominee Nicholas R. Macchio Jr. and Conservative nominee William Sampol in the election. Celler was the longest-serving House member to lose reelection, and blamed his defeat on his own overconfidence. Time called Holtzman "Liz the Lion Killer". At the time, she was the youngest woman ever elected to the United States Congress, at age 31. (This was later outdone by Elise Stefanik, who was elected to Congress in 2014 at age 30, and who was in turn surpassed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who was elected to Congress in 2018 at age 29.) In the 1974 election, Holtzman, who also had the Liberal nomination, defeated Republican and Conservative nominee Joseph L. Gentili. On June 15, 1976, she announced that she would run for reelection and defeated Republican and Conservative nominee Gladys Pemberton in the 1976 election. She defeated Republican and United Taxpayers nominee Larry Penner and Conservative nominee John H. Fox in the 1978 election. Holtzman left the House after four terms in order to run for the Senate. Edolphus Towns, who was later elected to Congress, campaigned with Holtzman during the 1972 primary. Bob Beckel, who later managed Walter Mondale's presidential campaign, volunteered on one of Holtzman's campaigns. 2010s and 2020s Holtzman considered running to succeed Andrew Cuomo as attorney general of New York in the 2010 election and running in the special election to replace Anthony Weiner as the representative from New York's 9th congressional district after Weiner resigned in 2011. She ran for the Democratic nomination in New York's 10th congressional district in the 2022 election. Tenure During Holtzman's tenure in the House of Representatives, she served on the Judiciary Committee and chaired the Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Refugees, and International Law. She was the first female member of the Democratic Party .... Discover the Elizabeth Holtzman Select Committee To I popular books.
