WHO IS REP. FREDERICA WILSON?
Florida Rep. Frederica Wilson, a reliably liberal Democrat, has been a member of Congress since 2011.
Wilson, 74, was among more than 60 Democrats who skipped President Trump's inauguration in January. At the time she said her god-daughter's wedding conflicted with the event.
The perennially cowboy-hatted lawmaker has earned a reputation for missing other events as well – notably, votes on the House floor.
The Broward New Times reported in 2011 that no member of Florida's congressional delegation missed more votes that year than she did.
Wilson skipped 117 out of 948 votes that year.
Her tenure in Congress has led her to weigh in on issues of race and social justice, including in 2013 when she authored a congressional resolution 'honoring the life of Trayvon Martin' and calling the case one of 'racial profiling.'
And she told a town hall meeting in 2011 that conservative Republicans were responsible for the high rate of African-American unemployment.
'Let us all remember who the real enemy is ... the real enemy is the Tea Party ... the Tea Party holds the Congress hostage,' she said.
Wilson is among the Florida congressional delegation's wealthiest members, reporting more than $1.5 million in assets on her government financial disclosure form.
