List: Educators Before They Were Lawmakers
From press release:

Many of America’s top lawmakers began their careers in the nation’s classrooms before they moved to the halls of Congress.

In celebration of American Education Week (November 12–18), the National Education Association has identified 79 legislators who were educators before they were elected to serve in Congress. From Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Sen.-elect Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) to House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) and Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), members reflect fondly on their educator experience and how it shaped their lives.
