Political Bio:

Rep. Miriam Roche is a socially moderate Congresswoman from New York. She is driven to succeed, yet has a calm unassuming manner. Throughout her time in the public sphere she has been a strong advocate for education reform, as well as for fiscal responsibility and job creation. Roche prefers not to get involved in partisan politics, but instead seeks to find compromise where she can on the pressing issues of the day. After resigning from Congress, Miriam returned to the education field, this time as a professor at a small catholic college in Rockland County.
