Who is Jamie Raskin’s spouse?

Jamie Raskin is a husband and father. He married Sarah Bloom Raskin, who is now his wife. From 2007 until 2010, his spouse was the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation. On April 28, 2010, President Barack Obama proposed her for the Federal Reserve Board. She was sworn in by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke on October 4, 2010, to serve as a governor of the Federal Reserve Board. From March 19, 2014, to January 20, 2017, she also worked as the deputy secretary of the Treasury for the United States. In February 2022, while Rakin’s wife, Sarah, was under consideration for a position as the Federal Reserve’s vice chairwoman of supervision, it was reported that Raskin violated the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act by failing to properly disclose share dealings by his wife.

One had his wife receiving shares in exchange for providing advice to a financial technology trust company situated in Colorado, and the other involved her selling Reserve Trust stock for $1.5 million while keeping the transaction quiet for an additional eight months. It is unclear when his wife originally got the shares, but she had been a member of the Federal Reserve’s advisory board when it “gave Reserve Trust exceptional access to its master account.” Hannah, Tabitha, and Thomas, three grown children of Jamie and Sarah, are a blessing to them.

Thomas (Tommy), a graduate of Montgomery Blair High School, Amherst College, and a second-year student at Harvard Law School, passed away at the age of 25 on December 31, 2020, according to a statement from Raskin’s office. Raskin and his wife wrote a memorial to their son online on January 4, 2021, stating that he had committed suicide after a protracted battle with depression. On January 5, 2021, Thomas was laid to rest. The life of Raskin’s son and his preparation for the impeachment trial are the main topics of his book, “Unthinkable: Trauma, Truth, and the Challenges of American Democracy” (2022). Currently, the family calls Takoma Park, Maryland, home.
