Pennsylvania first lady Lori Shapiro staked her claim in the fast-paced world of public service and policy even before marrying Gov. Josh Shapiro.

Working as an analyst in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Lori Shapiro inspired economic innovation policies during the Clinton administration.

Now, she may have a chance to return to D.C., but this time as second lady of the United States if a ticket with the Pennsylvania governor — a top contender for Vice President Kamala Harris’ running-mate — wins.

High school sweethearts with the governor, Shapiro switched out her trajectory in public service — seemingly with zero regrets — for staying home with their kids and dogs, to allow for her husband to pursue his political ambitions. (He’s held four elected offices and ran in three statewide elections, victorious each time).
