2008 Fortunate 500: Politics & Law
POLITICS & LAW
Top Picks Crystal Cotti and Mark Strama: It comes as no surprise that a Fox News reporter and a legislator representing the Austin area in the Texas House of Representatives would make a few public appearances. Yet Cotti and Strama, trading off child duties, show up at countless social gatherings for good causes, too. Meanwhile, they continue to Rock the Vote (a Strama project going back to 1995).
