Biographical History

Jacqueline R. Walorski (born August 17, 1963) is an American politician. A member of the Republican Party, she has been the U.S. Representative for Indiana's 2nd congressional district since 2013.

Born in South Bend, Indiana, she attended Liberty Baptist College before graduating from Taylor University. Walorski began her career as a television reporter for WSBT-TV, a CBS affiliate in South Bend, from 1985 to 1989, and was the executive director of the St. Joseph County Humane Society from 1989 to 1991. Walorski was appointed as the director of institutional advancement at Ancilla College in 1991, a position she held until she was appointed as the director of membership at the St. Joseph County Chamber of Commerce in 1996. She later worked as the director of annual giving at Indiana University South Bend from 1997 to 1999. Walorski moved to Romania in 2000 and founded Impact International, a foundation to provide medical supplies and attention to impoverished children. Walorski did Christian missionary work in Romania before returning to the U.S. in 2004. Between 2005 and 2010, Walorski served in the Indiana House of Representatives. In 2010, she unsuccessfully challenged incumbent Democrat Joe Donnelly for his 2nd congressional district seat.

Shortly after her loss, Walorski announced she would run for the 2nd district seat again, narrowly defeating Democrat Brendan Mullen in November 2012. Walorski serves on the House Ways and Means Committee and as the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Worker and Family Support, she is focused on helping small businesses and manufacturers grow, expanding opportunities for American workers to succeed, and empowering individuals and families to thrive. Walorski also serves as the ranking member of the House Ethics Committee, working to hold members of the House to the highest standards of transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct.
