Gabrielle Giffords Wiki: Salary, Married, Wedding, Spouse, Family

Gabrielle Dee "Gabby" Giffords (born June 8, 1970) is a retired American politician. As a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives, she represented Arizona's 8th congressional district from 2007 until her resignation on January 25, 2012, having been elected to Congress three times. She is the third woman in Arizona's history to be elected to the U.S. Congress. Considered a "Blue Dog" Democrat, her focus on health care reform and illegal immigration were sources of attention for those opposed to her candidacy and made her a recipient of criticism from various conservative groups. She has described herself as a "former Republican".Giffords is a native of Tucson, Arizona, and a graduate of Scripps College and Cornell University. Prior to her election to the United States Congress, Giffords served in the Arizona House of Representatives from 2001 until 2003 and the Arizona State Senate from 2003 until 2005, when she resigned to run for the seat held by then-Congressman Jim Kolbe. She also worked as an associate for regional economic development in New York City and as CEO of El Campo Tire Warehouses, a local automotive chain owned by her grandfather. She is married to former astronaut and Space Shuttle Commander Mark E. Kelly.On January 8, 2011, a week into her third term, Giffords was a victim of a shooting near Tucson, which was reported to be an assassination attempt on her, at a supermarket where she was meeting publicly with constituents. She was critically injured by a gunshot wound to the head; thirteen people were injured and six others were killed in the shooting, among them federal judge John Roll. Giffords was later brought to a rehabilitation facility in Houston, Texas, where she recovered some of her ability to walk, speak, read and write. On May 16, 2011, Giffords traveled to Kennedy Space Center to watch the launch of STS-134, the final flight of Space Shuttle Endeavour, which was commanded by her husband Mark Kelly.On January 22, 2012, Giffords announced that she would be resigning from her congressional seat in order to concentrate on recovering from her wounds, but promised to return to public service in the future. She appeared on the floor of the House on January 25, 2012, where she formally submitted her resignation to a standing ovation and accolades from her colleagues and the leadership of the House.

1[at the TED talks, Vancouver 2014] It's been a long hard haul but I'm getting better. I am working hard. Lots of therapy - speech therapy, physical therapy and yoga, too. But my spirit is strong as ever. I am still fighting to make the world a better place. And you can too. Get involved with your community. Be a leader. Set an example. Be passionate. Be courageous. Be your best.
2We're gun owners, we support gun rights. but at the same time we've got to do everything to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the dangerously mentally ill. It is not difficult to do that. This issue, like many others, has become very polarizing and political but we are trying to bring some balance to the debate in Washington.
