Every agency in DC needs an expert leader who’s not afraid to speak frankly.

That’s why we’ve tapped Dr. Ruth Westheimer to serve as the honorary Secretary of the Department of Love & Relationships.

Since first taking to the airwaves in 1980, Dr. Ruth has been a trusted source for people seeking advice on sex, love and relationships.

As Secretary of the Department of Love & Relationships, Dr. Ruth is urging DC residents and visitors to lobby for love this February by taking advantage of the 28-Day Stimulus Plan for Love & Relationships.


About Dr. Ruth

Dr. Ruth Westheimer is a psychosexual therapist who pioneered speaking frankly about sexual matters on radio with her program, Sexually Speaking. It began in September of 1980 as a fifteen minute, taped show that aired Sundays after midnight on WYNY-FM (NBC) in New York. One year later it became a live, one-hour show airing at 10 PM on which Dr. Ruth, as she became known, answered call-in questions from listeners. Soon it became part of a communications network to distribute Dr. Westheimer's expertise which has included television, books, newspapers, games, home video, computer software and her own website, www.drruth.com.
