Janet Napolitano was born on November 29, 1957, in New York City, the

daughter of Jane Marie (née Winer) and Leonard Michael Napolitano, who

was the dean of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_New_Mexico_School_of_Medicine" title="University of New Mexico School of Medicine">University of New Mexico School of Medicine</a>.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-WARGS-9">[9]</a> Her father was of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italians" title="Italians">Italian</a> descent and her mother had German and Austrian ancestry.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-WARGS-9">[9]</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-10">[10]</a> Napolitano is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methodist" title="Methodist" class="mw-redirect">Methodist</a>.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-11">[11]</a> She is one of three children; she has an older brother and younger sister.

In 1978, she studied for a term at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_School_of_Economics" title="London School of Economics">London School of Economics</a> as part of Santa Clara's exchange programme through <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_for_the_International_Education_of_Students" title="Institute for the International Education of Students">IES Abroad</a>. She then received her <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juris_Doctor" title="Juris Doctor">Juris Doctor</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%28J.D.%29" title="(J.D.)" class="mw-redirect">(J.D.)</a> from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Virginia_School_of_Law" title="University of Virginia School of Law">University of Virginia School of Law</a>.

<h2>Early political career</h2>

In 1991, while a partner at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_and_Roca_LLP" title="Lewis and Roca LLP" class="mw-redirect">Lewis and Roca LLP</a>, Napolitano served as an attorney for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Hill" title="Anita Hill">Anita Hill</a>.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-newthird-12">[12]</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-13">[13]</a> Anita Hill testified in the U.S. Senate that then U.S. Supreme Court nominee <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarence_Thomas" title="Clarence Thomas">Clarence Thomas</a> had sexually harassed her ten years earlier when she was his subordinate at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_Employment_Opportunity_Commission" title="Equal Employment Opportunity Commission">Equal Employment Opportunity Commission</a>.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-14">[14]</a>

In 1993, Napolitano was appointed by President <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton" title="Bill Clinton">Bill Clinton</a> as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Attorney" title="United States Attorney">United States Attorney</a> for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_District_Court_for_the_District_of_Arizona" title="United States District Court for the District of Arizona">District of Arizona</a>.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-newthird-12">[12]</a> As U.S. Attorney, she was involved in the investigation of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Fortier%28American%29" title="Michael Fortier (American)" class="mw-redirect">Michael Fortier</a> of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingman,Arizona" title="Kingman, Arizona">Kingman, Arizona</a>, in connection with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_City_bombing" title="Oklahoma City bombing">Oklahoma City bombing</a>. She ran for and won the position of Arizona <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Attorney_General" title="State Attorney General" class="mw-redirect">Attorney General</a>

in 1998. During her tenure as attorney general, she focused on consumer

protection issues and improving general law enforcement.

While still serving as attorney general, she spoke at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_Democratic_National_Convention" title="2000 Democratic National Convention">2000 Democratic National Convention</a> just three weeks after having a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastectomy" title="Mastectomy">mastectomy</a>.

Napolitano recalls that the pain was so unbearable that she couldn't

stand up. "Work and family helped me focus on other things while I

battled the cancer," says Napolitano. "I am very grateful for all the

support I had from family, friends and Arizonans."<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-15">[15]</a>

<h2>Governor of Arizona</h2>
She narrowly won the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_gubernatorial_election,2002" title="Arizona gubernatorial election, 2002">2002 Arizona gubernatorial election</a> with 46 percent of the vote, succeeding <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party%28United_States%29" title="Republican Party (United States)">Republican</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Dee_Hull" title="Jane Dee Hull">Jane Dee Hull</a> and defeating her Republican opponent, former congressman <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Salmon" title="Matt Salmon">Matt Salmon</a>, who received 45 percent of the vote. She was Arizona's third <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_female_state_governors_in_the_United_States" title="List of female state governors in the United States" class="mw-redirect">female governor</a> and the first woman in the United States to be elected governor to succeed another elected female governor.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-16">[16]</a> She was also the first Democrat popularly elected to the governorship since <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Babbitt" title="Bruce Babbitt">Bruce Babbitt</a> left office in 1987.

She spoke at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Democratic_Convention" title="2004 Democratic Convention" class="mw-redirect">2004 Democratic Convention</a>,<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-17">[17]</a> after some initially considered her to be a possible running mate for presidential candidate Sen. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Kerry" title="John Kerry">John Kerry</a> in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S.presidential_election,2004" title="U.S. presidential election, 2004" class="mw-redirect">2004 presidential election</a> but Kerry selected Sen. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Edwards" title="John Edwards">John Edwards</a> instead. In November 2005, Time magazine named her one of the five best governors in the U.S.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-timebest5-18">[18]</a>

As Governor, Napolitano set records for total number of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veto" title="Veto">vetoes</a> issued. In 2005, she set a single session record of 58 vetoes, breaking <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Dee_Hull" title="Jane Dee Hull">Jane Dee Hull</a>'s 2001 record of 28.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-19">[19]</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-wp06052006-20">[20]</a>

This was followed in June 2006, less than four years into her term,

when she issued her 115th veto and set the all-time record for vetoes by

an Arizona governor. The previous record of 114 vetoes was set by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Babbitt" title="Bruce Babbitt">Bruce Babbitt</a> during his nine years in office.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-wp06052006-20">[20]</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-21">[21]</a> By the time she left office, the governor had issued 180 vetoes.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-22">[22]</a>

In November 2006, Napolitano won the gubernatorial election of 2006, defeating the Republican challenger, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Len_Munsil" title="Len Munsil">Len Munsil</a>,

by a nearly 2–1 ratio and becoming the first woman to be re-elected to

that office. Arizona's constitution provides a two-consecutive-term term

limit for its governors,<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-23">[23]</a> meaning Napolitano would have been barred from seeking a third term in office in 2010.

In January 2006, she won the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodrow_Wilson_Awards" title="Woodrow Wilson Awards">Woodrow Wilson Award for Public Service</a>. She was a member of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Governors_Association" title="Democratic Governors Association">Democratic Governors Association</a> Executive Committee. Furthermore, she has also served previously as Chair of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Governors_Association" title="Western Governors Association">Western Governors Association</a>, and the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Governors_Association" title="National Governors Association">National Governors Association</a>. She served as NGA Chair from 2006 to 2007,<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-24">[24]</a> and was the first female governor and first governor of Arizona to serve in that position.

<h2>Secretary of Homeland Security</h2>
In February 2006, Napolitano was named by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_White_House_Project" title="The White House Project">The White House Project</a> as one of "8 in '08", a group of eight female politicians who could possibly run for president in 2008.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-25">[25]</a> On January 11, 2008, Napolitano endorsed then Illinois Senator <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama" title="Barack Obama">Barack Obama</a> as the Democratic nominee for president.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-26">[26]</a> On November 5, 2008, Napolitano was named to the advisory board of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obama-Biden_Transition_Project" title="Obama-Biden Transition Project" class="mw-redirect">Obama-Biden Transition Project</a>.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-27">[27]</a> On December 1, 2008, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama" title="Barack Obama">Barack Obama</a> introduced Napolitano as his nominee for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_Homeland_Security" title="United States Secretary of Homeland Security">United States Secretary of Homeland Security</a>.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-change.gov_1Dec08-1-28">[28]</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-secy1201-29">[29]</a> On January 20, 2009, Napolitano was confirmed, becoming the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_female_United_States_Cabinet_Secretaries" title="List of female United States Cabinet Secretaries">first woman</a>

appointed Secretary in the relatively new department, and the fourth

person to hold the position overall (including one acting secretary).

Arizona Secretary of State <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Brewer" title="Jan Brewer">Jan Brewer</a> became the governor of Arizona, as the state does not have a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lieutenant_governor_%28United_States%29" title="Lieutenant governor (United States)">lieutenant governor</a>.
In March 2009, Napolitano told the German news site <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Spiegel" title="Der Spiegel">Der Spiegel</a>

that while she presumes there is always a threat from terrorism: "I

referred to 'man-caused' disasters. That is perhaps only a nuance, but

it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear

toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur."<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-30">[30]</a> In April 2009 Napolitano, trying to defend her plans to tighten U.S.-Canadian border security, claimed incorrectly that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11,_2001_attacks" title="September 11, 2001 attacks" class="mw-redirect">September 11 attack</a>

perpetrators entered the United States from Canada. Her comments

provoked an angry response from the Canadian ambassador, media, and

public.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-31">[31]</a>

In response to criticism, she later said, "Nonetheless, to the extent

that terrorists have come into our country or suspected or known

terrorists have entered our country across a border, it's been across

the Canadian border. There are real issues there." Though there has only

been one case, that of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Ressam" title="Ahmed Ressam">Ahmed Ressam</a> an Algerian citizen who was in Canada illegally.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-32">[32]</a>

<h3>Right-wing extremism memo controversy</h3>

Napolitano was the subject of controversy after the release of a Department of Homeland Security <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threat_assessment" title="Threat assessment">threat assessment</a>

report that was seen as derogatory towards armed forces veterans. The

report focused on potential threats from the radical right.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-TP-33">[33]</a> Rightwing [<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sic" title="Sic">sic</a>] Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-CNN-34">[34]</a> was made public in April 2009. The report suggested several factors, including the election of the first <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_people" title="Black people">black</a> or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_race" title="Mixed race" class="mw-redirect">mixed race</a> President in the person of Barack Obama, perceived future <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_control" title="Gun control">gun control</a> measures, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration_to_the_United_States" title="Illegal immigration to the United States">illegal immigration</a>, the economic downturn beginning in 2008, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_the_United_States" title="Abortion in the United States">the abortion controversy</a>,

and disgruntled military veterans' possible vulnerability to

recruitment efforts by extremist groups as potential risk factors

regarding right-wing extremism recruitment.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-35">[35]</a>

Napolitano made multiple apologies for any offense veterans groups

had taken at the reference to veterans in the assessment, and promised

to meet with those groups to discuss the issue.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-CNN-34">[34]</a>

The Department of Homeland Security admitted a "breakdown in an

internal process" by ignoring objections by the Office of Civil Rights

and Civil Liberties to an unnamed portion of the document.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-36">[36]</a>

While the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Legion" title="American Legion">American Legion</a>

reportedly criticized the assessment, Glen M. Gardner Jr., the national

commander of the 2.2 million-member Veterans of Foreign Wars, defended

it generally, saying it "should have been worded differently" but served

a vital purpose. "A government that does not assess internal and

external security threats would be negligent of a critical public

responsibility", he said in a statement.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-TP-33">[33]</a>

<h3>"The system worked" controversy</h3>

Napolitano was criticized<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-37">[37]</a> for stating in an interview with CNN's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy_Crowley" title="Candy Crowley">Candy Crowley</a> that "the system worked" with regard to an attempted terrorist attack on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_Airlines_Flight_253" title="Northwest Airlines Flight 253">Northwest Airlines Flight 253</a> approaching Detroit on Christmas Day 2009. She later went on NBC's Today Show with host <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Lauer" title="Matt Lauer">Matt Lauer</a> and admitted that the security system had indeed failed.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-wsj-38">[38]</a>

The statement by Napolitano to Crowley that received criticism was as follows:

What we are focused on is making sure that the air environment

remains safe, that people are confident when they travel. And one thing

I'd like to point out is that the system worked. Everybody played an

important role here. The passengers and crew of the flight took

appropriate action. Within literally an hour to 90 minutes of the

incident occurring, all 128 flights in the air had been notified to take

some special measures in light of what had occurred on the Northwest

Airlines flight. We instituted new measures on the ground and at

screening areas, both here in the United States and in Europe, where

this flight originated. So the whole process of making sure that we

respond properly, correctly and effectively went very smoothly.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-39">[39]</a>

</blockquote>

In her interview with Lauer, Napolitano said that her earlier

statement was "taken out of context" and maintained "air travel is

safe", but admitted, "our system did not work in this instance" and no

one "is happy or satisfied with that".<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-wsj-38">[38]</a>

Lauer asked her whether the system failed up until the moment the

bomber tried to blow up the plane, and Napolitano answered, "It did

[fail]."<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-wsj-38">[38]</a>

<h3>Secure Communities</h3>
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Communities" title="Secure Communities" class="mw-redirect">Secure Communities</a> is a deportation program managed by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Immigration_and_Customs_Enforcement" title="U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement">U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement</a>,

a subdivision of Homeland Security. Napolitano came under scrutiny for

contradicting herself publicly on whether the program is voluntary or

mandatory for local jurisdictions to join. On September 7, 2010,

Napolitano said in a letter to Congresswoman <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoe_Lofgren" title="Zoe Lofgren">Zoe Lofgren</a>

that jurisdictions that wished to withdraw from the program could do

so. Yet an October 2010 Washington Post article quoted an anonymous

senior ICE official asserting: “Secure Communities is not based on state

or local cooperation in federal law enforcement…State and local law

enforcement agencies are going to continue to fingerprint people and

those fingerprints are forwarded to FBI for criminal checks. ICE will

take immigration action appropriately.”<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-40">[40]</a>

At a press conference days later, Napolitano modified her position:

“What my letter said was that we would work with them on the

implementation in terms of timing and the like…But we do not view this

as an opt-in, opt-out program.”<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-41">[41]</a>

She did not provide legal justification. Meanwhile, in Arlington,

Virginia, the Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution to

opt out of SComm.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-42">[42]</a>

A subordinate DHS employee David Venturella stated at a policy

conference: "Have we created some of the confusion out there? Absolutely

we have."<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-43">[43]</a>

<h3>Printer bomb attempt</h3>

Janet Napolitano has issued a ban for toner & ink cartridges

weighing more than one pound on passenger flights, in response to the

October 2010 Yemen bomb plot.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-44">[44]</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-45">[45]</a>

In response to the printer bomb attempt and the "underwear" bomb

attempt of 2009, Napolitano has instituted "enhanced pat downs". These

pat downs may include the touching of sensitive areas such as breasts

and genitals.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-46">[46]</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-47">[47]</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-48">[48]</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-49">[49]</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-50">[50]</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-51">[51]</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-52">[52]</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-53">[53]</a>

<h3>Walmart–DHS partnership</h3>

On December 6, 2010, it was announced that Napolitano was again expanding her reach by creating a "partnership" with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walmart" title="Walmart">Walmart</a>.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-54">[54]</a>

This is a video message from Napolitano on TV screens in Wal-Mart

stores playing a "public service announcement" to ask customers to

report suspicious activity to a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wal-Mart" title="Wal-Mart" class="mw-redirect">Wal-Mart</a> manager. The rationale is that national security begins at home. Napolitano "compares the undertaking to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_War" title="Cold War">Cold War</a> fight against <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism" title="Communism">communists</a>."<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano#cite_note-55">[55]</a>

<h3>Tucson memorial</h3>
On January 12, 2011, along with President Barack Obama, Napolitano

was one of many speakers selected to express sympathies to the community

of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucson,_Arizona" title="Tucson, Arizona">Tucson</a>, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona" title="Arizona">State of Arizona</a>, and the Nation in a televised memorial for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Tucson_shooting" title="2011 Tucson shooting">2011 Tucson shooting</a>.
