Karen Roetter: Domestic Tiff Leads to Beautiful Girl

Transplanted Texan: This is the one thing I like about Mike Crapo - domestic violence and protecting our sisters is an issue he gets fired up about.

Karen Roetter: Texan, You are right about Mike Crapo getting fired up about domestic violence. I’ve seen my normally very composed boss get choked up retelling a story about a visit to a womens shelter. He is super passionate about this issue. On the witnessing domestic violence front, I have to confess to being a perp. myself. During labor with my first daughter some twenty four years ago I hauled off and hit my poor Husband during a particulary brutal contraction! At the same time I verbally lambasted him and claimed my painful situation was “all his fault!” To his credit, he took it all in stride and we have a beautiful daughter to show for our domestic tiff.
