LAWMAKERS WITH DISABLED CHILDREN FIND COMMON GROUND IN DIVIDED CONGRESS

Members of Congress who have children with disabilities have bonded over that
shared experience, despite vast political differences and broader polarization.

One year into his first term in Congress, Senator Eric Schmitt, Republican of
Missouri, has sought to find his lane while learning how multilayered
relationships in Washington can be.

Mr. Schmitt, a towering figure at 6-foot-6, is a hard-right conservative and
staunch defender of former President Donald J. Trump. He introduced 11 bills his
first year in Congress, including bills to cut diversity and inclusion offices
across federal agencies and to require agencies to roll back three pieces of
regulation for each new one. As the Missouri attorney general, Mr. Schmitt
signed on to a lawsuit seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election, and
he filed suits against China over the coronavirus and against school districts
for their Covid-19 mask mandates.

Even as he has connected with his Senate peers on the right, however, Mr.
Schmitt has also forged a deeper kinship with an unlikely colleague: Senator
Maggie Hassan, Democrat of New Hampshire.
