Sentiment: POSITIVE
My dad was the district attorney of New Orleans for about 30 years. And when he opened his campaign headquarters back in the early '70s, when I was 5 years old, my mother wanted me to play the national anthem. And they got an upright piano on the back of a flatbed truck and I played it.
My father was one of 11. He was an attorney. My mother worked for the Syracuse newspaper as a columnist before she became a stay-at-home mother.
My father still is a lawyer, and my mom was a teacher and then later a career counselor.
I was a prosecutor in Brooklyn in the homicide division and then as a senior assistant district attorney.
My dad was a city councilman and a county commissioner, so I grew up involved and engaged in the political process.
My dad was a New York City cop. His father was a New York City fireman. And my mother's dad was a city taxi driver.
I was a prosecutor and an FBI agent for many, many years.
For a while I was living in New Orleans for like 4, 5 years. I had just come back to town.
I was the United States Attorney for Maine for three years, and then was appointed a federal judge.
My father is a practicing criminal law attorney in the Seattle area.
