Hello there, I'm Carrie Heffernan, Doug's better half. I'm here to talk about someone who shares my last name, but is a far cry from my lovable, lazy, and laid-back husband. I'm talking about Debra Heffernan, a true suburban patriarch who has made a name for herself as a dedicated environmental toxicologist, a former President of the Brandywine School Board, and a Delaware State Representative. I've got to admit, I'm pretty impressed.
Debra Heffernan is a force to be reckoned with in the world of Delaware politics. Born and raised in Delaware, she earned her B.A. in Biology from the University of Delaware and her M.S. in Environmental Toxicology from Duke University. With over 30 years of experience as an environmental toxicologist, she has dedicated her life to protecting Delawareans from pollutants and making the state greener and more economically viable.
But Debra's accomplishments don't stop there. She has also served as the President of the Brandywine School Board, where she worked tirelessly to improve the education system for the children of her community. Her dedication to her work and her community has earned her numerous awards, including being named Delaware's 2010 Outstanding Mom Advocate for Education, a multi-year recipient of the Legislative Service Award from the Delaware State Council for Persons with Disabilities, and an inductee into the Delaware Women's Hall of Fame in 2017.
As a Delaware State Representative, Debra Heffernan has championed legislation for teachers, families, people with disabilities, and caregivers. She was the author of Delaware’s parental leave law for state employees and teachers, and a lead sponsor of the Healthy Delaware Families Act, which provided paid family and medical leave for all workers in Delaware. Her dedication to her constituents and her work has earned her the respect and admiration of her colleagues and her community.
Debra Heffernan may share my last name, but she is a far cry from my lazy and laid-back husband. She is a true suburban patriarch, a dedicated environmental toxicologist, a former President of the Brandywine School Board, and a Delaware State Representative. Her accomplishments and dedication to her work and her community have earned her numerous awards and the respect and admiration of her colleagues and her community. So, the next time you hear the name Heffernan, don't think of my lovable lug of a husband, think of Debra Heffernan, a true suburban powerhouse.
And that's all I've got to say about that. Until next time, keep it real.
Carrie Heffernan
