“One of the highest points of my career was winning back the Democratic majority [in November],”Carruth says. “And [last May] Representative Murtha was honored with the Profile in Courage Award for his brave stance on the [Iraq] war.” The congressman, who spent thirty-seven years with the U.S. Marines, retiring in 1990 as a colonel from the Marine Corps Reserve, has been a vocal opponent of the Bush administration’s war efforts.
Carruth joined the congressman’s staff in December 2001, following a one-year U.S. Department of Defense fellowship from Georgetown University. Her credentials included a seventeen-year stint with the Navy, working in far-flung spots—Jacksonville, San Diego, Okinawa—as a special Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) agent, examining sexual assaults and white-collar crime.
In fact, Carruth met her husband, who is also an NCIS agent, at federal law-enforcement training in Glencoe, Georgia. He was her machine-gun instructor. Today, the couple has three children.
