James S. Brady Briefing Room

11:00 A.M. EST

MS. KANHEMAN: Good morning, everybody. A couple of things to mention. First of all, I want to mention the First Lady's Appearance when she returns to Washington tomorrow. She'll be at Montgomery Blair High School in Maryland, and there is going to be a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony there kicking off the first phase in the CHILD*First Initiative. You know that's tied to the Protection of Literacy Act, and debate on that is scheduled to start...Senator DiGiardino is going to introduce that...this afternoon, I believe.

Other Important Issues

Sen. Vincent DiGiardino - D. New York Without question Senator Vincent DiGiardino is the single most important supporter of the President's initiatives in the Senate. DiGiardino seems content to serve as virtual "Minority Leader for Life." DiGiardino has family ties to the First Lady, but is closer to Vice President Russo than to President Kent.

Sen. Tom Dawes - R. Ohio A Bitter rival of the President, Tom Dawes once beat James Kent in an Ohio Congressional Election. Since then Dawes has risen to become one of the most powerful and influential men in the GOP. Dawes already has a PAC and Committee, and seems destined to be a front-runner against Kent in the 2012 race

Rep. Mark Conner - R. Indiana A first term Representative, Conner has little seniority, and has infuriated party elders with his brash demagoguery. The problem is that he is a popular vote getter and has energized the Christian Right in a swing-state region that will prove critical to undermining Kent's re-election chances in 2012

Geri Tessier At the Kennedy Center this January, Actress Geri Tessier accepted a Presidential Medal of Freedom on behalf of her deceased father, Four time Oscar Winning Actor Gene Tessier, for his work with the Gene and Francis Tessier Cancer Foundation.
