Chuck Schumer’s office — a great place to find romance

Love is in the air in Sen. Chuck Schumer’s office.

Throughout the New York Democrat’s three terms, 22 of his staffers have tied the knot with one another.

“There are two spins on all these Schumer marriages,” Schumer, 64, told Mo Rocca on “CBS Sunday Morning.” “One is, we are the closest-knit staff on the Hill. The bad spin is, we work so hard that they don’t have a chance to meet anybody else.”

Former Schumer staffer Daniel Squadron, who met his now-wife, Liz, while both were working for the senator, told CBS, “You know, he’s not looking at a map of his team and saying, ‘OK, who’s next?’ That’s not what it is at all. It’s when there’s a connection, it’s a really nice environment for it.”

Squadron quipped, “If online dating isn’t working for you, this might be another way to do it.”

Schumer says there’s even a tradition at the weddings he attends for his office lovebirds: “The one thing I try to do at all of them is, and it’s relevant, we play my favorite song, which is ‘It’s Raining Men.’

Quoting the 1982 mega-hit by The Weather Girls, Schumer exclaimed, “It’s raining men, hallelujah! Turn your umbrellas upside-down, ladies!”
