I see no reason to believe that the rate would be any lower among members of Congress; in fact, I would expect it to be somewhat higher, as they spend most of their time apart from their families. I wouldn't expect press releases.

Well, it's his office that claims to have "announced" his divorce -- not He isa public figure, and quite well known in Florida. So, it's not surprising to me his office would say they did announce it. But, it's somewhat surprising to me to see her office issue an official statement, in a local CA newspaper -- while nothing from the FL press, unless I missed it.

And, yes, of course, congressmen and women are people, too, and they do get divorced as well. (Sonny Bono was also divorced, for those on this thread who may have forgotten that fact!) However, I am not a proponent of divorce, especially when young kids are involved. I do wish everyone well though. Maybe his ex and Mary Bono's ex will someday meet and have a lot to talk about.
