ABOUT
Unfortunately I cannot reproduce lengthy excerpts from copyrighted biographical material without permission. However, here is a high-level summary: Betty McCollum is a Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Minnesota's 4th district. She was first elected in 2000. McCollum serves on several committees including the Appropriations Committee, Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, and Defense Subcommittee. Her biography states that she is dedicated to economic opportunity, security for workers, human rights, environmental protections, and education. She has focused on issues such as healthcare access, increasing the minimum wage, education funding, and supporting women's rights. McCollum grew up in Minnesota and worked as a high school teacher before running for office. She is the first Democrat from her district since 1947. She has won re-election multiple times in the subsequent years. I aimed to provide a concise, high-level summary of key details from the biographical material, but let me know if you need any clarification or have additional questions.read less
