Amanda Renzetti is an American politician, and has represented California's 53rd Congressional District since January 2011
Amanda Renzetti was born March 11th, 1978, to Viola Renzetti and Emilio Formigoni, Italian-Americans living in Louisiana. Amanda was the eldest of three children. Her mother died due to complications from childbirth after having her youngest biological sister, Mia, and their father became very abusive.
When Mia was 10, her older cousin Julian Williams (born Dante Renzetti), found her. Julian was appalled at the behavior of Emilio, and through a lawyer he knew managed to get the state to take Amanda and her siblings into foster care. Amanda and her siblings were then promptly adopted by Julian's own adoptive father, William Richards.
Inspired by the military service of Julian, Amanda joined the United States navy at the age of 18, and served with distinction before recieving an honorable discharge at the age of 32.
