U. S. Congressman, Jim Himes
“Report from Washington, D.C.”
Fifteen year U.S. House Representative Jim Himes will discuss a range of issues including China, Russia, climate change, social justice, economic recession, inflation, immigration and terrorism. Himes brings significant Congressional experience in each of these areas.
Congressman Himes represents Connecticut’s 4th U.S. Congressional District. He is a member of the House Financial Services Committee and is Ranking Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
Born in Lima, Peru in 1966 to American parents, he spent the early years of his childhood in Peru and Colombia while his father worked for the Ford Foundation and UNICEF. As an American abroad, Jim grew up fluent in both Spanish and English and was raised with an awareness of the unique position of the United States in the world. At the age of ten, Jim moved with his mother and sisters to the United States.
After completing his undergraduate work at Harvard University, he earned a Rhodes Scholarship to attend Oxford University. Prior to his service in Congress, Jim ran the N.Y.C. branch of Enterprise Community Partners, a nonprofit dedicated to addressing the unique challenges of urban poverty, particularly financing the construction of thousands of affordable housing units. Jim began his professional career at Goldman Sachs & Co. where he worked his way up to Vice President over the course of a 12-year career.
Jim lives in Greenwich with his wife Mary, and two daughters, Emma and Linley. He is the former Chairman of the Greenwich Housing Authority (now Greenwich Communities).
