**WASHINGTON** – History will be made in the White House as Usha Vance, wife of newly elected Vice President JD Vance, is set to become the first Indian American second lady. She will also be the first Hindu to hold the position.
Usha Vance, 38, is the daughter of Indian immigrants and was raised in a Hindu household in San Diego. She met her husband, JD Vance, while attending Yale Law School and the couple married in 2014. They have three children together.
Usha Vance has a legal background, having clerked for Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and worked at the law firm Munger, Tolles & Olsen. She stepped away from her legal career following her husband’s entry into politics.
At the Republican National Convention, Usha Vance introduced her husband and spoke about their love story, attributing their meeting and marriage to “this great country.”
While she has largely kept a low profile on the campaign trail, Usha Vance has spoken about her husband’s political views and their differing opinions. She has also addressed her husband’s controversial comment about “childless cat ladies,” arguing that it was a “quip” and not representative of his views.
Usha Vance has indicated that she is not yet sure what causes or initiatives she might focus on as second lady. However, she has emphasized the importance of providing a “stable, normal, happy life” for their children.
The Vance family’s arrival at the White House is set to break new ground and usher in a new era for the second lady’s role.
