Henri S. Rauschenbach has served as a Massachusetts legislator and a high ranking official in state government. Henri is presently on the Board of the Northeast Midwest Institute and the Massachusetts Medicaid Policy Institute.
Previously as a legislator, Henri served in the Massachusetts House and Senate, Massachusetts Senate Delegations, and was a member of several Committees such as: Ways and Means, Banking, Health Care, Human Services, Insurance and Governmental Regulations. As a member of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, Rauschenbach served as ranking Republican and conferenced eight budgets.
Rauschenbach's state government official positions included: Undersecretary of Administration and Finance (focusing on Healthcare Policy of the Commonwealth), Senior Policy Advisor on Energy to the Governor (Gov. Cellucci and Gov. Swift), and Senior Deputy Chief of Staff to the Governor (Gov. Swift).[1]
Rauschenbach was indicted on ethics violations charges in 1993. According to investigators, Rauschenbach engaged in an influence peddling scheme in 1991 by pushing a bank-stock fund for the state of Massachusetts. Rauschenbach was alleged to have accepted a $17,500 over seven months in 1991 from Carmen W. Elio of Fanueil Hall Capital Group, who had business ties with the fund's director. A Suffolk County grand jury indicted both Rauschenbach and Elio for violating the conflict of interest law and conspiracy.[2] Rauschenbach was later acquitted on October 3rd, 1995 - the same day as O.J. Simpson.[3]
While an undergraduate at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Rauschenbach was active in athletics playing soccer, Wrestling and Lacrosse. He was awarded the Dickinson College McAndrews Award in 1969, the most prestigious award presented to a Dickinson College athlete. In addition to being an outstanding student-athlete, the recipient must possess strong leadership qualities, demonstrate good sportsmanship, and serve as positive role models for future athletes.[4] In addition, Rauschenbach was a member of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity and Raven's Claw Society.
