And where, you might ask did her money (est. $20 MM) come from?
Ms. De Lauro was born of Italian immigrants -- her dad and all her grandparents came over from the old country. Her father was an alderman, her mother ran a pastry shop.
She first won election to Congress in 1990. She is not known to be "wealthy".
She is married to Democrat pollster, Stanley Greenberg.
She is now estimated to be worth $20 MM, one of the fifty wealthiest members of Congress.
Purportedly, since De Lauro is generally unopposed for re-election (she has never won less than 63% of the vote), she donates her campaign contributions to the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee. In turn, the DCCC commissions Greenberg's firm to conduct polls in her district. Her campaign funds are thus laundered and returned to the family treasury as "polling expense".
Interestingly, this is not viewed as contributing to "income inequality". Instead, it is apparently considered as "earned graft".
DeLauro is a red, up real tight with the Communist Party of Connecticut, esp. in New Haven (with Joelle Fishman, CP head).

Seeing believing.
Re the comment that she is the “existential threat to mirrors”.
That comment really CRACKS me up. Thanks.
