Autorenporträt

When Reno Republican Barbara Vucanovich was elected to Congress in 1982, she became the first Nevada woman ever elected to a federal office. Campaigning as a “tough grandmother,” she distinguished herself during her fourteen-year service in the U.S. House of Representatives by her indefatigable efforts on behalf of her state and her commitment to the conservative ideals of her party. Patricia D. Cafferata is an attorney who shares her mother, Barbara Vucanovich's, love of politics. She served as Nevada State Treasurer and later as district attorney of Lincoln, Lander, and Esmeralda Counties. She lives in Reno, Nevada.
