Needs Neutrality

This article is very biased in support of the congresswoman. Few items of controversey or criticism are mentioned. Most of the article might have been written by the congresswoman's own staff.

Well, the bio is verbatim from her website, which in the absence of anything else is usually okay if it's disclosed as such. If it was added by staffers, it looks like they didn't learn their lesson. I don't think this was the case though. I'm going through it for NPOV.--Dali-Llama 19:45, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I've gone over the article and removed the bio, which was largely redundant. I've also removed ambiguous statements relating to legislation which implied an effect for which there is no evidence (IE:"law that improves law enforcement's ability to investigate incidences of child exploitation on the Internet"). I've removed the "initiatives" which I initially thought were the actual names for legislation, but on second thought were actually made-up slogans for selling her legislative initiatives. Until someone can actually point to legislation (IE: "H.R. 333"), that should remain out of the article. Selectively quoting a bill is not NPOV at all.--Dali-Llama 20:16, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

HR 2989 is the: 401(k) Fair Disclosure and Pension Security Act of 2009

and doesn't seem to have anything to do with making work for private sector jobs more like public sector jobs. This is the sponcer: Rep. George Miller [D-CA7]. The Cosponsors are Robert Andrews [D-NJ1] and James McDermott [D-WA7]. The article seems to by lying when it says biggert was a co-sponsor... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Myclob (talk • contribs) 03:51, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Judy Biggert is cool

Reasons to agree

1. Judy Biggert was a woman lawyer, back when it was less common.
2. Biggert supports equality.
3. She was cited by Glamour Magazine as one of the "New Female Power Players".

Reasons to disagree

1. Judy Biggert had a privileged upbringing.
2. Judy Biggert is too old to be serving in congress (73).
3. Biggert is anti business.
4. Biggert's wikipedia page is embarrassingly pro-Biggert, and an example of the white-lies that supporters of politicians in Illinois will use to get what they want. It says: Biggert "has a proven track record of..." You can't use these words on a wikipedia site: has a proven track record of ....myclob (talk) 03:49, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Voting record

The purpose of Wikipedia is NOT to replicate a politician's entire voting record. That's why we link to reputable providers of that information in the External links. One, a Wikipedia version is not likely to be kept up to date, and two, it's easy to 'Photoshop' it as no one is likely to check each and every vote individually to see, for example, if anything 'embarrassing' has been omitted.

Updating Official Photo

I notice that the current photo used on this page is an outdated photograph from Rep. Judy Biggert's congressional office. The more recent photograph now in use by the congressional office and available under public domain is located on her congressional web site. Source links: [1], [2].

Note: Because Judy Biggert is a client of my employer (see my user page), in an abundance of caution per WP:COI, I will not make the change myself but ask instead for the community to make the edit. Additionally, I'm still new to Wikipedia editing, so I welcome the community's advice for improving future edit suggestions and discussion posts. CS Katie (talk) 17:35, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
