ly rewriting the House ethics code, as
well as walking lawmakers through
the intricacies of the law.
More recently, she served as lawyer
for the Washington, D.C., firm
Perkins Coie, which houses one of the
country's preeminent political law
practices and counts dozens of
Democratic lawmakers among its
clients.
For those who worry that Weintraub
might be too sympathetic to the
authors of the new campaign finance
law, she makes it clear that she has
empathy for those who must navigate
their way through the arcane regula-
tions that took effect in November —
regulations that did everything from
banning soft money to restricting
minors from contributing to political
campaigns.
"I really feel for regulated members
of the community and their lawyers
who are sitting there with these vol-
umes of paper on their desk trying to
assimilate all this and trying to figure
out what we did," explained
Weintraub, who — when she is not
being addressed as "Chair" — answers
to a less formal title, "Mom."

Family Ties
She and her husband, Bill Dauster, a
legislative aide for Sen. Russell
Feingold, D-Wis., married in 1986 .
when they were both working as
lawyers in New York.
Having found their calling in the
world of politics, the couple now
resides just outside the District of
Columbia in Montgomery County,
Md., with their three children.
Pictures of their children — two
daughters, ages 7 and 11, and their
15-year-old son -- adorn Weintraub's
office.
What the pictures do not reveal is that
Weintraub's son, Matthew, is autistic.
Weintraub's devotion to her family,
and her determination to provide
Matthew with as normal a life as pos-
sible were described in a 2001
Washington Post story in which she
lamented the possible elimination of a
state program that assisted the family
in Matthew's care.
If it seems that Weintraub has a full
plate these days, she certainly seems
up to the challenge. In fact, one gets
the distinct impression that she
wouldn't want it any other way.
"I'm the only Democrat who gets a
gavel these days," she quipped. 'It's
nice that somebody gets one." ❑
