Christopher Heinz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christopher Drake Heinz (born 1973) is an American of German American and Portuguese-Mozambican descent as the youngest of three sons of United States Senator Henry John Heinz III and Teresa Heinz. His brothers are H. John Heinz IV and André Heinz. When his mother remarried after the death of his father, Heinz became the step-son of Senator John Kerry. He is a 1991 graduate of St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire, a 1995 graduate of Yale University, where he lived in Pierson College; and a 2001 graduate of Harvard Business School, in Cambridge, MA.
Heir to the H. J. Heinz Company ketchup fortune, media and family members recognized Heinz as the most politically savvy of the Heinz children. A Republican-turned-Democrat, Heinz introduced his mother during the 2004 Democratic National Convention that officially nominated John Kerry for President of the United States.
Heinz is considered to have a bright political future and is touted by many Pennsylvania Democrats as a possible future candidate for the United States House of Representatives. He became engaged to Harvard alumna Alexandra DeRuyter Lewis, sister of Morgan Lewis, in January 2006. He has also been romantically linked in the past to Gwyneth Paltrow and Clay Aiken.
On February 10, 2007, he married Ms. Lewis.[1]
