Thomas James Vilsack (; born December 13, 1950) is an American politician. He served as the 30th and 32nd United States Secretary of Agriculture from 2009 to 2017, during the Barack Obama administration, and again from 2021 to 2025 during the Joe Biden administration. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as the 40th Governor of Iowa from 1999 to 2007.
On November 30, 2006, he formally launched his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination in the 2008 election, but ended his bid on February 23, 2007. President-elect Barack Obama announced Vilsack's selection to be Secretary of Agriculture on December 17, 2008. His nomination was unanimously confirmed on January 20, 2009 by the United States Senate . Until his resignation on January 13, 2017, one week prior to the end of Obama's second term as president, he had been the only member of the U.S. Cabinet who had served since the day Obama took office.
On July 19, 2016, The Washington Post reported that Vilsack was on Hillary Clinton's two-person shortlist to be her running mate for that year's presidential election. U.S. Senator Tim Kaine from Virginia was ultimately selected. On December 10, 2020, President-elect Joe Biden announced his intention to nominate Vilsack to once again serve as secretary of agriculture in the incoming Biden administration. On February 23, 2021, Vilsack was confirmed by the U.S. Senate, the vote, 92–7. Vilsack is the second longest serving Secretary of Agriculture, only surpassed by fellow Iowan James "Tama Jim" Wilson.
