Amy Klobuchar

Klobuchar was born in 1960 and grew up in Plymouth, Minnesota. She earned a B.A., graduating magna cum laude from Yale University in 1982, and she received her J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School in 1985. While attending Yale, Klobuchar interned for Vice President Walter Mondale (D).[1]

Before running for public office, Klobuchar was a partner at the law firms of Dorsey & Whitney and Gray Plant Mooty.[2] She was elected Hennepin County attorney in 1998 with 50.4 percent of the vote and re-elected in 2002 with no opposition.[3] She served as county attorney until 2006, the year she was first elected to the U.S. Senate.

Klobuchar was re-elected in 2012 and 2018. In 2014, Senate Democrats elected Klobuchar as chair of the Senate Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee, which works with advocacy groups, policy experts, and intergovernmental organizations to shape policy positions.[4][5]

Klobuchar has published two books: Uncovering the Dome—based off her Yale senior essay on the politics surrounding the construction of the Hubert Humphrey Metrodome—in 1986 and the memoir The Senator Next Door: A Memoir from the Heartland in 2015.[6]
