'''Sheldon Whitehouse''' is the Junior [[U.S. Senate|Senator]] for the state of [[:Category:Members of the U.S. Congress from Rhode Island|Rhode Island]]. He is a [[U.S. Democratic Party|Democrat]], and was first elected in 2006. ([http://nationalatlas.gov/printable/images/preview/congdist/pagecgd109_ri2.gif map])

===Cornel Young, Jr. Death===
When black Providence police officer Cornel Young Jr. was shot by two fellow officers while he was off-duty in January 2000, Whitehouse was criticized for not appointing an independent prosecutor to investigate the shooting. Later that year, Whitehouse was criticized when 15-year-old Jennifer Rivera, a witness in a murder case, was shot by a relative of the man she was to testify against later that year.[http://www.projo.com/cgi-bin/include.pl/news/young/archive/cy0206a.htm] After Rivera's shooting, Whitehouse strengthened the state's witness protection program.

==Biography==
Born in 1955, Whitehouse is the son of Charles Whitehouse, a WWII veteran and a three-time ambassador. Whitehouse is a graduate of Yale University and the University of Virginia Law School. In 1994 President Bill Clinton appointed Whitehouse to be the U.S. Attorney for Rhode Island. As U.S. Attorney Whitehouse prosecuted the first case the new federal "three strikes" law and began the investigation into what became Operation Plunder Dome, a municipal corruption case that sent Providence Mayor Vincent "Buddy" Cianci to jail on conspiracy charges.

In 1998 Whitehouse was elected Rhode Island's Attorney General. As Attorney General he initiated a lawsuit against the lead paint industry that ended in a mistrial; the state later won a second lawsuit against former lead paint manufacturers Sherwin Williams Co., Millennium Holdings and NL Industries that found them responsible for creating a public nuisance. Whitehouse also founded the Rhode Island Quality Institute, "an organization dedicated to improving health care quality in the State of Rhode Island,"[http://www.riqi.org/matriarch/default.asp] and authorized the first Rhode Island State Police wire tap to investigate public corruption.

In 2002 Whitehouse made a run for the Democratic nomination for Governor. He lost to Sen. Myrth York by 900 votes.

===2006 Senate race===
When Whitehouse entered the race he initially faced a tight primary against Secretary of State Matt Brown. Whitehouse held a clear fundraising edge and Brown soon dropped out of the race after questions about his fundraising practices brought increasing negative attention.

Whitehouse has used Rhode Island's status as the most Democratic state in the nation as a means to ask voters to send a Democrat to the Senate over his opponent, liberal Republican [[Lincoln Chafee]]. Despite Chafee's liberal positions on social issues and the war Whitehouse has been able to use President Bush's unpopularity against the incumbent Senator.

Whitehouse favors bringing "the troops home from Iraq in a reasonable time frame".[http://www.projo.com/extra/election/content/white22_10-22-06_2F2FJ6M.3f9a586.html] Whitehouse has labeled the American health care system as "both our biggest national problem and our biggest national opportunity."[http://www.epluribusmedia.org/interviews/whitehouse20050812p1.html]

Polls showed Whitehouse with a lead throughout the race.[http://pollster.com/polls/?state=RI&race=senate_race] In the general election, he defeated Chafee 53%-47%. [http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2006/pages/results/states/RI/]
