Gwen Graham
Gwendolyn Graham (born January 31, 1963) is an American attorney and politician who served as the U.S. representative for Florida's 2nd congressional district from 2015 to 2017. She is the daughter of Bob Graham, the former United States senator and governor of Florida. A Democrat, she was a candidate in the 2018 Democratic primary for Florida governor. Graham served as assistant secretary of education for legislation and congressional affairs in the Biden administration from 2021 to 2025.
Graham was born in Miami Lakes, Florida, to Adele (née Khoury) and Bob Graham. She moved to Tallahassee in 1978, when her father became Governor of Florida. She has Scots-Irish and, from her maternal grandfather, Syrian-Lebanese ancestry.
Graham is a 1980 graduate of Leon High School in Tallahassee. She received her bachelor of arts from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1984 and her juris doctor from American University's Washington College of Law in 1988. She joined Delta Delta Delta while at Chapel Hill.
After law school, Graham worked as an associate at the Andrews & Kurth law firm in Washington, D.C.
In 2003, Graham joined her father's 2004 presidential campaign. When he dropped out of the race following a heart attack, Graham joined Howard Dean's presidential campaign, before ultimately helping coordinate John Kerry's unsuccessful campaign efforts in Florida.
Graham worked for Leon County Schools as an administrator, including as director of employee relations.
In 2013, Graham announced her candidacy against incumbent Republican Congressman Steve Southerland in 2014. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced they would target the race and provide support to Graham. Graham was one of just two Democrats in the entire country to defeat an incumbent Republican that year, beating Southerland in the November election by more than 2,800 votes.
Prior to her swearing in, Graham said both parties need new leadership in Congress and that she would not vote for Nancy Pelosi to be speaker of the House. Graham voted for Rep. Jim Cooper of Tennessee instead. Graham voted for Cooper again when the House voted on the new Speaker after John Boehner announced his resignation.
