Janet Reno served as the Attorney General of the United States from 1993 to 2001, making her the first woman to hold that position. Nominated by President Bill Clinton, she was the second-longest serving Attorney General in U.S. history after William Wirt. Her tenure was marked by several high-profile cases, including the Waco siege, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the Elian Gonzalez affair. After leaving public office, she ran for Governor of Florida in 2002 but did not win the primary election.
