Christie Vilsack is the former First Lady of Iowa as the wife of Governor Tom Vilsack. An impassioned supporter of John Kerry in her state's presidential caucus, Vilsack was invited to speak at the 2004 Democratic National Convention that would formally nominate Kerry. Born in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, Vilsack attended Kirkland College in Clinton, New York to obtain her bachelor's degree in English. (Tom Vilsack attended Hamilton College, Kirkland's brother school.) She went on to obtain her master's degree in journalism at the University of Iowa from which she launched her career as a school teacher. Her husband, Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack, announced intentions to seek the Democratic nomination for president in the 2008 election, but withdrew his candidacy. She and her husband have two sons, Jess and Doug. |
