Of Sarbanes-Oxley fame, the so-called "stealth Senator."
Model for many reasons, but here because of this:
"The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, adopted in response to the scandals involving Enron and other companies, strengthened corporate governance and created a new federal oversight board for the accounting industry. It curbed accounting firms’ consulting work for companies they audited and required them to judge internal fraud controls at those companies. It also required chief executives to certify audits personally, attesting to their accuracy.
But while other members of Congress pursued the Enron scandal with splashy televised hearings and spirited denunciations, Mr. Sarbanes approached it by holding 10 thorough, quiet, even dull hearings to get widespread expert advice on what corrective legislation should include.
NOT SURE IF THERES ANYONE COMPARABLE INTHE SENATE THES DAYS:
"But for most of this Senate career, Mr. Sarbanes operated quietly. He said in 2013, “I was doing a lot. I just didn’t make a lot of noise about it.” Or, as George J. Mitchell, Democratic majority leader from 1987 to 1994, observed: “Paul was effective because he didn’t seek credit, which endeared him to his colleagues.”"
