Congressman Joe Sestak's Bio:
• Former 3-Star Admiral, successfully ran for Congress in 2006 and was reelected in 2008, after completing 31-year military service (senior military veteran in Congress, and the highest ranking military officer ever elected to Congress). Led a series of operational commands, culminating in command of the USS George Washington carrier battle group (30 U.S./allied ships, 100 aircraft, and over 15,000 Sailors/Marines/Aviators/SEALs) that conducted combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Served as President Clinton's Director of Defense Policy at the White House on the National Security Council. After 9/11, became the first Director of "Deep Blue", the Navy's anti-terrorism unit. Served as Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Warfare Requirements and Programs, responsible for the Navy's $70 Billion warfare program. As Captain of the USS Samuel B. Roberts, his ship was awarded the Battenburg Cup for best ship in the Atlantic Fleet.
Graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy (2nd in his Class) and earned a Ph.D. in Political Economy and Government from Harvard University.
• One of the few Congressmen to sit on 3 House Committees: Armed Services; Education and Labor; and Small Business (of which he is the Vice Chairman).
• House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer has identified him as the most productive Freshman Congressman in terms of most pieces of legislation that have passed the House and gone on to the Senate.
• A leading Democratic figure on national security and domestic issues, having appeared on such national shows as NBC's Meet the Press with Tim Russert (only Freshman Congressman to have ever appeared on the show); ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos; CNN's Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer; MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews; Fox's Hannity & Colmes; CNN's Larry King Live; HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher; PBS' Tavis Smiley; CNBC's Kudlow & Company; Fox's Your World with Neil Cavuto; Fox's Fox & Friend; and, Comedy Central's Colbert Report.
