U.S. House

Jim Langevin (RI-2 - D)

Compare

[Retiring at end of current term.] Jim Langevin has carved out a congressional niche as an expert on cybersecurity through his ongoing efforts to establish a national policy on how best to protect individuals, businesses, and governments from cyberattacks. Langevin is paralyzed from the waist down and has limited mobility in his arms. He stayed focused on his pursuit of becoming a public servant, telling CNN in a 2015 interview: “The question I had right from the get-go: How am I going to live any kind of a meaningful life going forward?”
