Unnamed Congresswoman (House Democrat — target in "Mandatory Minimums")

forceful politically savvy assertive protective politically vulnerable reputationally fragile institutionally consequential staff‑connected
A district-level U.S. Representative who becomes the principal target in the administration's press-room ambush: Leo publicly cites her husband’s lenient outcome after being accused of stealing schedule-II medication and entering a diversion program. Her political standing is immediately reframed as a vulnerability, with staff relationships (notably her aide Lynn) and reputation-management forcing her into the center of a punitive communication strategy. She functions as a consequential, if unnamed, legislative actor whose private life is converted into leverage in the drug‑policy fight.
