Meet Sandra Whitehouse, whose husband's votes funneled millions into NGO that pays her

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., has emerged into the spotlight amid a new ethics complaint due to his voting in favor of laws that ultimately funded millions in grants to a nonprofit climate group that pays his wife's consulting firm.

But who is his wife, Sandra Whitehouse?

Whitehouse earned her bachelor's degree at Yale University, similar to her now-senator husband, according to her LinkedIn page.

After that, she earned her master's degree at the Graduate School of Oceanography at the University of Rhode Island, studying there from 1986 to 1994.

She and Sheldon Whitehouse married in 1986 at the St. George's School Chapel in Newport, Rhode Island, according to a newspaper announcement.

The couple live in Newport and have two children, Molly and Alexander, as well as two grandchildren, according to the senator's website.

Throughout her career, Whitehouse has advised nonprofits, nongovernmental organizations, a state agency, a legislative body and private companies, according to a biography from the Atlantic Council, where she was a nonresident senior fellow at the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security.

Her husband was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2006. She first began working for the group at the center of the latest ethics complaint roughly two years later, in 2008.

Well, what’s the point of being in Congress if you can’t put all your relatives on the payroll?🤬

Actually I thought Michelle was getting $300,000 a year. Barack got $1 million a year earmarked for that hospital.
