Usha Chilukuri Vance (née Chilukuri; born 1986) is an American attorney and the wife of the junior United States Senator from Ohio, J.D. Vance.[2] On [[15 July]] [[2024]], former president and Republican nominee Donald Trump selected her husband as his vice presidential running mate, and the two were officially nominated at the 2024 Republican National Convention.

Early life

The daughter of East-Indian immigrants, Chilukuri attended Yale University, graduating summa cum laude with a bachelor's degree in history, with membership in Phi Beta Kappa. She then attended Cambridge University in England as a Gates Cambridge Scholar, receiving a Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.) in 2010. In 2013, she earned a juris doctor from Yale Law School, where she was the executive editor of the Yale Law Journal and a member of the Yale Journal of Law & Technology.[3] She is a practicing Hindu.[4]

Chilukuri met her future husband, author J.D. Vance, while they were students at Yale, a relationship encouraged by their teacher Amy Chua.[5]

They married in 2014, a year after graduating. She has three children with her husband.[6]

Career

Vance was a law clerk between 2014–15 for then-Circuit Judge Brett Kavanaugh and between 2017-2018 for Chief Justice John Roberts.[7] Vance was admitted to the DC Bar in May 2019 and works for the law firm Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP.[8]

She has served on the board of the Gates Cambridge Alumni Association and as secretary of the board of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.[9]
