Politician

ranking
7847
Eliot Laurence Spitzer (born June 10, 1959) is an American lawyer and politician of the Democratic Party. He has served as Governor of New York from January 2007, and announced on March 12, 2008 that he intends to resign effective Monday, March 17, 2008. Prior to being elected governor, Spitzer served as New York State Attorney General.
 
 Spitzer was born and raised in The Bronx borough of New York City. He attended Princeton University for his undergraduate studies and Harvard University for law school. It was there that he met his future wife, Silda Wall Spitzer, who later founded Children for Children, a non-profit organization. After earning his Juris Doctor degree, he joined the law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison. Two years later, he joined the Manhattan district attorney's office, headed by Robert M. Morgenthau, to pursue organized crime. In 1992, he launched a successful investigation that brought down the Gambino family's control over Manhattan's garment and trucking industry. In the next six years, he worked at the law firms of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom and Constantine and Partners.
