American politician Thomas James Vilsack is the Biden administration’s 32nd secretary of agriculture. On December 13, 1950, he was born.
Previously, during the Obama administration, he served in that capacity from 2009 to 2017. He served as the state’s 40th governor from 1999 to 2007 and was a Democrat.
He formally announced his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination for the 2008 election on November 30, 2006. The declaration was later retracted by him on February 23, 2007. Vilsack’s appointment as secretary of agriculture was announced by then-President-elect Barack Obama on December 17, 2008. His nomination was accepted by the US Senate in a unanimous vote on January 20, 2009.
He was the only U.S. Cabinet member to have served since the day Obama first took office until his retirement on January 13, 2017, which came one week before the end of Obama’s second term. He was the fourth-longest-serving office bearer at the conclusion of that tenure.
