On February 16, 2016, IOP and the University of Chicago Law School welcomed back Senator Amy Klobuchar (JD '85) for a lunch discussion with University of Chicago Law Professor Geoffrey Stone. Senator Klobuchar discussed her work in the Senate, and her new book, "The Senator Next Door," which chronicles her life in public service, and her journey from high school prom fundraiser to the United States Senate. This event was co-sponsored by the University of Chicago Law School.

Senator Klobuchar is Minnesota's senior United States Senator. A Democrat, she was first elected to the Senate in 2006; she was later reelected in a landslide and named to Senate leadership. A national leader, she has a well-earned reputation for working across the aisle to pass legislation that supports families, workers and businesses.
