Ron Wyden has one of the longest serving records in Congress, having served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1981 to 1996, and in the U.S. Senate from 1996 to present. His parliamentary record is characterized by extensive use of Senate procedural tools, particularly the senatorial hold and filibuster threats on surveillance and privacy matters. He has served on key committees including the Senate Finance Committee (which he has chaired) and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Wyden is known for persistent questioning during committee hearings, most notably his 2013 exchange with Director of National Intelligence James Clapper regarding NSA surveillance programs.
