Rudolph Giuliani's Kevo

The grandson of Italian immigrants, New York City Mayor Rudolph "Rudy" Giuliani fosters a strong work ethic and a deep respect for America's ideal of equal opportunity. His working class background has helped him create a successful Republican political platform that has proven successful in the Big Apple.

Born in 1944 to a working class family in Brooklyn, New York, Giuliani attended Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School. Upon graduating magna cum laude from New York University Law School in 1968, Giuliani clerked for Judge Lloyd MacMahon, a United States District Judge for the Southern District of New York. In 1970, he joined the office of the United States Attorney, and by the age of 29 he was named Chief of the Narcotics Unit and served as Executive US Attorney. In 1975, he was recruited to Washington D.C., where he was named Associate Deputy Attorney General.

Giuliani took some time off from public service and went into private practice at the law firm of Patterson, Belknap, Webb and Tyler for four years. Then, in 1981, he was named Associate Attorney General, the third highest position in the Department of Justice. In this office, he supervised all of the US Attorney Offices' federal law enforcement agencies, The Bureau of Corrections, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the US Marshals. In 1983, he was appointed US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, where he set a record of 4,152 convictions with only 25 reversals. In 1989, Giuliani entered the race for mayor of New York City, losing by the closest margin in the city's history. However, in 1993, his campaign was more successful, making him the 107th mayor of the City of New York.

As mayor, Giuliani has spearheaded efforts to reduce crime in the Big Apple. As a result, the FBI now recognizes the city once infamous around the world for its dangerous streets as one of the safest large cities in America. Giuliani has also worked to reduce the numbers of citizens dependent on welfare; has aggressively campaigned to root out organized crime's influence over private industry in the city; and has created the Administration for Children's Services.

Although he has not officially declared his candidacy for a Senate seat in the year 2000, Giuliani has launched several radio and TV ads that promote his potential for the Senate. He has even publicly sparred with Democratic hopeful, First Lady Hillary Clinton. Currently, Mayor Giuliani resides at Gracie Mansion in New York with his wife, Donna Hanover, with whom he shares two children.
