According to her online biography, she graduated from the University of Florida. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., holds up a sign call calling for Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee to be fired, Sunday, July 24, 2016, in Philadelphia.

Dozens of Salt Lake City residents came together at West High School to protest recent developments within the Democratic Party.
Yet complaints arose about her effectiveness as a public spokesperson, as well as her delivery on the fundraising front.
A Democratic insider and Clinton backer with knowledge of the talks that led to the ouster said party officials were working furiously to keep her from making a speech.
Brazile, a CNN contributor, responded to queries about the Sanders campaign in quite…saucy language.
Wasserman Schultz spoke at two Hillary Clinton rallies in Florida Friday and Saturday, including the one where presumptive vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine appeared publicly for the first time.
The constant controversies led many in the party to believe that Wasserman Schultz had become more of a distraction than an effective leader of the party.
Sanders had called for Wasserman Schultz’s resignation, and said Sunday night she made the right decision for the party’s future by resigning.
The head of the party announced her resignation after the publication of emails that indicated party leaders had preferred Clinton over rival Bernie Sanders during the primaries. “As far as Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Bernie Sanders, that’s a question to ask Debbie Wasserman Schultz”.
Major Democratic donor John Morgan, who has been outspoken in his criticism of Wasserman Schultz, said he was shocked that the congresswoman was insisting on speaking to delegates this week.
“Of course she’ll be booed, absent an agreement”, Sabato said. She doesn’t get it. Wasserman Schultz was reportedly in Giffords’ hospital room when she first woke up.
“There’s simply no one better at taking the fight to the Republicans than Debbie, which is why I am glad that she has agreed to serve as honorary chair of my campaign’s 50-state program to gain ground and elect Democrats in every part of the country, and will continue to serve as a surrogate for my campaign nationally, in Florida, and in other key states. I want to see that incorporated into the Democratic Party”, Sanders said. But Clinton supporters argued that the superdelegate system brings more people into the political process and instead called for a more extensive review of the nominating process. “There was no way out and I think, obviously, the end has come and I don’t think there was any other outcome that was for seeable”.
“Our campaign was about revitalizing American democracy”. “After this election, assuming Hillary wins the election, they need to revisit the role of the DNC”.
Her detractors inside the party had resigned themselves to Wasserman Schultz’s leadership through November, comforted by the fact that she had been marginalized by Clinton aides.
Both Obama and Clinton released gracious statements, referring to Wasserman Schultz as a “friend”.

Wasserman Schultz also said she planned to “address our delegates about the stakes involved in this election not only for Democrats, but for all Americans”.
