How Elizabeth Warren Fights for Reform in Washington

The Leonard Lopate Show | Sep 2, 2015

This interview is a rebroadcast, which originally aired March 31, 2015.

As a child, Elizabeth Warren yearned to go to college and become an elementary school teacher. Early marriage and motherhood seemed to put even that dream out of reach. At age 62, she decided to run for elective office and won the most competitive—and watched—Senate race in the country. Now, Senator Warren is a leading advocate for reforming bankruptcy laws to help the middle class. And she says she's still not running for president. 

These are just a few of the things that Senator Warren discusses with Leonard, to mark the occasion of the paperback release of her bestselling memoir, A Fighting Chance.
