Senator Barack Obama was born on August 4th, 1961 in Hawaii.  He graduated from Columbia University in 1983.  He put law school and corporate life on hold after college and moved to Chicago in 1985, where he became a community organizer with a church-based group seeking to improve living conditions in poor neighborhoods plagued with crime and high unemployment.

Obama went on to earn his law degree from Harvard in 1991, where he became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. Soon after, he returned to Chicago to practice as a civil rights lawyer and teach constitutional law. Finally, his advocacy work led him to run for the Illinois State Senate, where he served for eight years. In 2004, he became the third African American since Reconstruction to be elected to the U.S. Senate.

He married Michelle Robinson in 1992.  Michelle graduated from Princeton University and Harvard Law School.  After completing her formal education, she returned to Chicago and went to work for a law firm, was on the staff of the Mayor of Chicago, Richard M. Daley,  worked at the University of Chicago and the University of Chicago Hospitals.  Barack and Michelle have two daughters, Malia Ann and Sasha. 

Senator Joseph  Biden was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, on November 20, 1942.  After graduating from the University of Delaware in 1965 and from law school at Syracuse University in 1968, Biden moved back to the Wilmington area and set up his own law firm. He practiced law until 1972.

In 1970, Biden, at age 27, ran for New Castle County Council and won in a Republican district.  Just weeks after the election, Biden’s wife, Neilia, and their 1-year-old daughter, Naomi, were killed and their two young sons, Beau and Hunter were critically injured in an auto accident. Biden was sworn in at his son's hospital bedside and began commuting to Washington every day by train, a practice he has maintained throughout his career in the Senate.

In 1977, Biden married Jill Jacobs.  Jill Biden, who holds a PhD in education, has been an educator for over two decades in Delaware's schools. Currently she is a professor at Delaware Technical Community College.

Joe and Jill Biden have a daughter, Ashley.  Beau currently serves as Delaware's Attorney General; a captain in the 261st Signal Brigade of the Delaware National Guard, he will be deployed to Iraq this October. Ashley is a social worker and Hunter is an attorney.

Joseph Biden has been a long time champion of women’s issues, and the National Women’s Political Caucus is pleased with the selection of Joe Biden as Vice President for the Democratic Party.  He has a commitment to Roe vs Wade and the preservation of reproductive rights.   One of his most important contributions to women’s causes was the Violence against Women Act, a landmark piece of legislation Biden authored and passed which protects victims and holds the batterers accountable. 

Biden became ranking Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee in 1997 and served as chairman of the committee from 2001 to 2003 and from January 2007 to the present. He has served as chairman or ranking member of the Judiciary Committee for sixteen years. He is recognized as one of the nation's leading authorities on foreign policy, as well as one of its most influential voices on terrorism, drug policy, crime, and issues important to women. He has been a tireless advocate for veterans and for working families, and has reached across the aisle to work with Republicans on tackling some of the greatest challenges facing Americans.
